[Intro] [distorted electric guitar enters with palm-muted riff] (Mmm...) [Verse 1] I wander here alone Without an end Without a purpose With neither life nor death Without any answers to share [drums and guitars drop out, synth arpeggio continues] [Chorus 1] I feel the fragrance of the meadows of the dead As aeons drift past me All those I once held dear Have already gone there [full band enters, distorted power chords, heavy snare] [Post-Chorus] [vocalizing] Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah [Verse 2] Kingdoms and empires Collapse around me Civilizations fade Into the river of time [bass slides down] Only I remain [Chorus 2] I feel the fragrance of the meadows of the dead As aeons drift past me All those I once held dear Have already gone there [Bridge] [vocalizing] Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah I'm still here when the last stars go out And the cold scorches my very core [Outro] [slowing tempo] Like the fire of a thousand suns And I'm still here as the universe fades away And in the end I alone remain [final guitar chord rings out, synth fades]
