Verse 1: What went down on the side of the road? What I saw at the edge of the 
sea. Only those elements time cannot wear, and they follow. What seeped out 
throught the cracks in time, what sucks out the color in me? What awaits 
beyond infinity?

Verse 2: What blew in with the 
great gale? What weighed down the falling leaves? What came forth from 
the remains? What has always lived and gone unseen? What has caused the night to fall? Who speaks of eternity? Who awakes to night eternally?

Interlude: Right to me this sounds like this was recorded with an unplugged electric guitar using
a microphone up to the strings.
Play this 4 times downstroked:
