Permanence Video (MV)

Illuminating brilliance
Plastered scene upon the sky
Endless dreams on ending years
Wishing that it'd never end
Watching as it all goes by
A counted day on counted time
Wishing that it had no end
Wishing that it had no end

No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence...

Count the moments slipping by
Fleeting away beyond the earth
Scenes and visions of the past
Moments never meant to last
Perception of a falling star
Crashing down to earth below
Conception of a dying sun
Extinguished life, yet to begun...

No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence...

Subtly suggesting permanence
When it's known it can't be so
Living life in ignorance
We deceive ourselves of what's known
Turning to the ones beside us
Remarking what we've seen
We continue our longing gaze
Up to the heavens above
A painted picture hung on the sky
Commissioned by the lords
A creation perfect in design
But lasting never more...

And so comes the final moment
Anticipation running high
The last remnants of the scene
Fading away like a memory
No use in preservation
The moment's slipping away
An era beyond a lifetime
Forgotten to history...

No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence
No lasting permanence...
