no haven will embrace you
no harbour keeps you safe
your comrades will desert you

no tower reaches heaven
no fortress stands to last
your desires makes you weak

no science will be mastered
no truth is absolute
your children won't lament you

no wisdom can be trusted
no glory lasts forever
your wishes won't be granted

like torches in the aeon flow
even suns flicker and die
forgotten as the ages grow
eternity is not for you
