Twilight Of the Mortal Lyrics

The days I wonder, the nights I ponder, and time is running out.
I saw restrictions of mortal lifespan, and hurled the lance beyond.

The stone that's bleeding, the rock that's breathing, the war that's in our blood.
Rapid formations, and celebrations, my Universe shall march.

Through love of a labour, one law to follow, until the day is done
We take our places amongts the mortals, but soon the day is done.

Cover art for Twilight Of the Mortal lyrics by Killing Joke

Basically a song about mortality, the brief nature of existence and the futility of warfare. Superb track.

This song reminds me of the decline of civilization. I see representations of nations such as Uncle Sam and John Bull on life support and dying. It is setting the stage for the collapse of the world. The lead singer of Killing Joke even left the UK in the late 80s because he thought a huge catacylism was going to wipe it out.
