"Doctrine Of Last Things" lyrics

"Doctrine Of Last Things"

The unknowable
That which lies beyond the sight of humankind
A promise of the transmigration of souls
A chance to live again

Reincarnate
Incarnate

We have always feared
The immutable cycles of birth and death
The dead never return to tell us
If we indeed live again

Lok-Nar!

Yet sometimes the dead return
They appear to us in dreams
But they never speak
Of what they have seen

All die, all die
The dead do not return

Lok-Nar!

It's a mercy
That we are ignorant
Of the horrors
That await us all

All die
The dead do not return

In truth
We know not if our priests lie to us
We ourselves cannot read the texts
The words of truth are closed to us
The cults of Ra and Osiris are in opposition
Contradiction and confusion is what they sell us

All die
The dead do not return
All die
The dead do not return
All die
The dead do not return
All die
The dead do not return
