The Secret — Seventh Wonder

How I want to tell You Of man and god Still we pray and send him up A fallen lie

I find I'm looking back to Days gone by To a time before every day Was night

You cannot live forever My time is now The gold You seek to gather Is mine to own

The secret Still living Has fallen into foreign hands Deciding every day You live

And so humanity will fall Before our eyes Too sundered to remember The ancient rites

Oh, have I lived to see The end of time The prayer that dies with my last breath Is only mine You cannot live forever My time is now Although You stay together You die alone

Still breathing Still seething The mournful eye upon Your face Follow me to Your dying day
