Lyrics

Obscura: Who Will Live to Tell the Tale

Album: Who Will Live To Tell The Tale

Galaxies collide in a final dance

Nebulas enter one last trance

Time runs out for the vast expanse

Sealed your fate, don’t stand a chance

Darkness unleashes an angst untold

Light has lost to its foe of old

The cosmos fades, it grows so cold

We gather and watch the end unfold


Here we stand at the edge of the abyss

Matter decays to reach entropic bliss

A life of googol years has come to this

Fate has delivered its deadly kiss

Black holes grow and consume the light

The end of all, the inevitable rite

Who will live to tell the tale 

Of this endless night


As the glittering vastness fades beyond the horizon of cosmic vision

And the last beams of light traverse what remains of the universe

Prepare to stare into an all-consuming blackness

The final remnants of existence helplessly witness

As reality begins to disintegrate

Dark energy has played the masterstroke

The universe has no way back


Darkness consumes all that is here

The end is nigh, extinction is near

The universe sheds one last tear

All it held dear must disappear

We fast approach the end of time

The final moments of an end sublime

The ink on the scroll has finally dried

The last few verses of the final rhyme


Dark energy ravaged the fabric of space

Time ran out, we lost the race

Give your loved ones one last embrace

Before all perishes and leaves no trace

Here once shone stars so bright

They have long since faded from sight

Who will live to tell the tale

Of this endless night


The final act, in stone it’s set

The cosmos vanishes and there’s no reset

Existence was a reverie you best forget

The universe bows out with no regret

Perpetual darkness, narrowing light

The end of everything, the final sight

Who will live to tell the tale

Of this endless night


In a long cold winter, a brief ray of light

Was it all coincidence or design of delight

This universe, never was or ever will be such a sight

Who will Iive to tell the tale of this endless night
