Thanatos Monologue ~The Raven & The Light~

What is death? A door with no handle /...creaking wide open/ A clock with no hands /...still ticking broken/ A long fall downward /...into the dark/ A depth that leaves /...its only mark/ What is death? A song at its ending /dancing on a whim/ A light going dim /but not fully gone/ (Pre-Chorus) /it was an end/ /it was a start/ /it was the silence/ /after the heart./ (Chorus) We know now /we know now/ We found out /we found out/ The only way we could... Something was taken /and never to return/ Something was broken /and left ever to burn/ Something is standing In the light... /...is that me?/ That's me. (Refrain) We know what the dead know We've seen what they've seen We've stood where they stood /where they still stand/ In the dark beneath the pale and the burning We have forgotten nothing We remember what we are We only know this land now And we walk it /...all the same./ (Bridge) He is under no hill He is under no stone But he was here... ...before the answer And he'll be here... ...now that it's known The ravens don't circle /they attend now/ The city is quiet /as the grave/ The bodies don't bleed right /and they never did/ I just... ...learned what that means. The only way I could... I asked my body I read my ending I counted my last breath And I understand What is death? ...I now know. /...I now know./
