Doctrine of Last Things lyrics

The unknowable That which lies beyond the sight of humankind A promise of the transmigration of souls A chance to live again Reincarnate Incarnate We have always feared The immutable cycles of birth and death The dead never return to tell us If we indeed live again Lok-Nar! Yet sometimes the dead return Appearing to us in dreams But they never speak Of what they have seen All die The dead do not return Lok-Nar! It is a mercy That we are ignorant of the horrors that await us all All die The dead do not return In truth We know not if our priests lie to us We ourselves cannot read the texts The words of truth are closed to us The cults of Ra and Osiris are in opposition Contradiction and confusion is what they sell us All die the dead do not return
