The Nihilist followed me along my path
The Nihilist spoke to me
You've come so far, O Wanderer
Only to fall to me

I am the Nihilist
And I will tell you of this world
I am the Nihilist
And I will shatter your world

Nothing lasts forever but the hope that it would
Nothing you endeavour ever shines like it should
Look into the mirror, look to the dawn
All that you see will one day be gone

You've come so far, Wanderer
With such a burden in tow
It all will end in madness
This you must surely know?

Is every step not a mountain?
Does the wind not cut to the soul?
It will all end in sadness
Why endeavour at all?

I felt the death in his voice
I felt the decay in his words
But it slid off like mountain snow
I'd been here before
Before I'd taken up the urns
Before I'd taken up the cause
When I myself had burned down
To smouldering ash

From the white-hot coals
At the base of my soul
I thank the celestia

For those refusing to tire
Heaving bellows of the fire
Who stoked my dying heart

Listen to me, O Nihilist
I will tell you what I have seen of this Earth

When I've had so much death in my time
What can one do but celebrate
What little time there is to exist
What vibrant life burns in those around us

Nothing lasts forever
Said the black hole to the star
Look into the mirror
See the black hole that you are

If every step is a mountain
Enjoy the fucking view
And see the miles you've traveled
Stretching out below you

If nothing is forever
We are roaring stars
All that we endeavour
Is all of who we are

Life is churning chaos
Life is roaring fire
All that we endeavour
Is all of who we are
