Please hear my words that they may not die with me

Please hear my prayers when I ask this to end quickly

Please save my inscription from the mouth of the deep

Please let it give hope to the weak

Leave this coast for brighter days my son

Goodbye, I hope that fate smiles on you

Farewell my son, may you find the truth

With any luck you can leave this waste behind you

May this parting be the last you see of our Lost City

An antique land, a cursed land that I cannot leave

An antique land, a cursed land, I cannot leave, let it be

I’ve been searching my mind in every corner

I know there’s no way out

They told me

I looked into the face of my enemy, the eye of the storm

Restless, always restless, looking over my shoulder at things that have never been

Drifting into the waves of the dark and burning sea

The sky meets the earth and devours all my grief

Drifting away

Drifting away

Farewell my son, may you find the truth

With any luck you can leave this waste behind you

May this parting be the last you see of our Lost City

Drifting into the waves of the dark and burning sea

The sky meets the earth and devours all my grief

Drifting away

It’s written, it’s written

In the cracks of the earth

Drifting away

Stop wishing, stop wishing

That these days pass you by

Farewell my son, may you find the truth

With any luck you can leave this waste behind you

May this parting be the last you see of our Lost City

I can see it written in the cracks of the earth

The end of my life, end of my life

So don’t lie awake wishing for better days

They won’t come your way, they won’t ease the pain

This is your life
