Document Lyrics - Assemblage 23

In stillness 

A silent weight 

Pausing as the minutes each evaporate 

A desire 

To leave a scar 

To raise a voice from within the dark 

Decaying 

Cascading 

Existence falls apart 

Around me 

Within me 

So I must leave my mark 

This is a document 

To prove that I was here 

This is a document 

To prove I was at all 

And when my voice ceases to be 

Will the echo still ring loudly? 

And when there's nothing left of me 

Will my memory still go on? 

A flicker 

Transitory state 

An echo of an instance that burns away 

A moment 

A shard of time 

A solitary thread that threatens to unwind 

Decaying 

Cascading 

Existence falls apart 

Around me 

Within me 

So I must leave my mark 

This is a document 

To prove that I was here 

This is a document 

To prove I was at all 

And when my voice ceases to be 

Will the echo still ring loudly? 

And when there's nothing left of me 

Will my memory still go on? 

Distant 

An approaching age 

When this document falls beneath another's gaze 

Too late 

We have lost the dawn 

The signal's loud and clear, but the transmitter's gone 

Decaying 

Cascading 

Existence falls apart 

Around me 

Within me 

So I must leave my mark 

This is a document 

To prove that I was here 

This is a document 

To prove I was at all 

And when my voice ceases to be 

Will the echo still ring loudly? 

And when there's nothing left of me 

Will my memory still go on? 

This is a document 

To prove that I was here 

This is a document 

To prove I was at all 

And when my voice ceases to be 

Will the echo still ring loudly? 

And when there's nothing left of me 

Will my memory still go on?
