lyrics

Beneath the surface
Is a vastness that lies in wait
A relentless Chronos
I've come for your head
The Thief of Memory
Interred beyond my grasp
Still, I'm coming for you

If you look outside of known selves
When there's nothing left to make sense
The Great Devourer
He reaps across the void
It's all coming undone
It's a passive war
That's waged on all we can remember
Even our records will turn to dust

But I will take it all back
Chronos, I'm coming for you

Beneath the surface
Is a vastness that lies in wait
A relentless Chronos
I've come for your head
The Thief of Memory
Interred beyond my grasp
Still, I'm coming for you

Even if we tread softly
There's just no guarantees we won't wake the slumbering wyrm
Despite the odds my pursuit is unending
Clawing to find some advantage
Some weakness between the scales of protective aegis
There's just no convincing me
That all it consumes is unraveled and lost

These images fade away

All my strength is waning
As I ascend the final steps
Everything I've conquered
Has led me here

As my strength is waning
And the old man stands before me
He smiles and it becomes clear
This was always my end

I cannot remember my end

This was always
Always my end
