[Verse 1]

Waiting the drawing of the underworld

None to share your fears

The shadow of Charon falls

Upon the stone of hopes


[Verse 2]

The body is paralysing, the air's too thick to enter

A cataclysm is spawend in the regions of the soul

The cry of the first time, you were free from the womb

Is the same, but you're entering the night


[Chorus]

Most try to understand why they're born if they must die

Life seems pointless with an end

Then they wonder if existence remains after death

Or Erebus is the final state


[Post-Chorus]

State!


[Bridge]

You knew from the beginning that the end will come in time

Yet, so many things you left undone, so many things unknown

In a life that's but a dream into a gods' dream


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

Most try to understand why they're born if they must die

Life seems pointless with an end

Existence is a choice that remains after death

Erebus is a mental state


[Post-Chorus]

State!
