Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something from the Earth came
Something for the world
Mosaic of broken fragile pieces
Tesserae of the deceased
Born to a novel world
[PreChorus]
Endless chain unbroken
Silent clocks rewinding
My song, it is for mankind
Embers to the stars
[Chorus]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost
[Verse 2]
Lives lived plain and epic
Of eudaemonia
Twelve score and one chain of lives unending
Welcoming as my offspring
Walks me to the weave
[PreChorus]
My song, it is for mankind
Embers to the stars
[Chorus]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost
[Chorus]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
Time set for a curious ghost
[Outro]
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs on a deathbed
We are their heir, dust on their palm
We are because of a million loves
We're the perfume of the timeless
Last sighs of a million loves
