MARMELODIAN: MUSIC/LISTEN

The Last Twilight

(MARMELODIAN)

I didn't have any intention really of writing "The Last Twilight." Or "The End of Days," for that matter.  Sometimes, songs choose you, you don't get to choose them.  The words and lyrics enter your head and you know you MUST honor and follow the muse.   If you don't, the muse will say goodbye and leave you....and find someone else, someone  more receptive.  

The Last Twilight

 

In the last twilight

Of once Eden earth

Let us bear witness

Each one in his turn

 

Sift through the ashes

Of all that's destroyed 

And witness the twilight

Of man's final voyage

 

There's nothing new

Not under the sun

No place left to raid

The conquest is done

 

No more new worlds

They've all be explored

Exploited, polluted

And tortured by war

 

While people of faith

Uncertain or none 

Sense that the twilight

Of mankind has come

 

Repeat 1st two verses

 

Sometimes I wonder

Why I and my friends

Were born in the Twilight

To witness the end
