about

'The Slow March Of Time' is born of a desire for endlessness. As a species with great potential, it is of utmost importance that we do not waste our finite time and that we are true to our own hearts in deciding how we spend it. We should not be burdened by patterns of the past or swayed from our calling by others who are following their own compass. We are specs of dust in the utter endlessness of time and whatever mark you leave on this universe is wiped clean in the years, decades, centuries or millennia to come. Embrace this futility and be one with the obvious truth of your existence - there is no truth. Live well.

lyrics

Now the fight for endless life fails, as time forgets.
Rise. Attempt to make your mark.
Attempt to fight the ebb of time.

Boundless river, drowning all men.
Succumb to the decay,
Forgotten, to waste away.
Lowered and placed among the billions who came before.

The endless march of time, forgets your name.
The endless march of time, erases all dreams.
The endless march of time, leaves you behind.
The endless march of time.

Deny the slow march of time.
Oh God, my soul for a few more years.

And we wove our dreams into the stars.
Fires we lit in the dusk,
But as the years went by the sparks began to die.
Our backs bent low in shame,
We began to rot away.
Deny the slow march of time.
Oh God, my soul for a few more years.
Deny the slow march of time.
Oh God, my soul for a few more years.

Ceaseless chasm, the deepest void.
Here you will wander, to the be forgotten.
Here you will waste away.
You are lowered and placed among the billions who came before.
