The Place Where Life Comes to End

There is a place where life comes to end

And before death will claim the soul 

And their breaths grow shallow and cold

And their brightest fires seem dim

And there the warmth of love begins to fade 

To into the emptiness of the void

Let us leave this place where only death lives

And the icy peak blows and rises

Past the cap where the snow falls 

We shall run with a run that is broken and slowing

And watch where others have faltered

To the place where life comes to end

Yes we will run with a run that is broken and slowing

And we will go where others have faltered

For the fools, they set, and the fools, they know

The place where life comes to end
