Dematerialise Lyrics

A thousand memories fade

A crescendo drifts into decay

Each revolutionon the clock a deconstruction

Replaced by prosaic certainty

Etched into stone

A name, not lost but forgotten

A generation will remember

But time will fade the memory

What am I?

The frames I fill? The name I leave?

Cast my learnings in ink?

Pages turn, but for how long?

Etched into stone

A name, not lost but forgotten

A generation will remember

But time will fade the memory

What have we to offer?

But immediacy, recounted tales of lore

Where provenance is lost

Vanity's wretched hold distorts the detail

To touch the heart beyond our reach

A distant memory to those you seek

Painstakingly scribe your name

But legacy is lost with the passing of time

There is no malice in our ambition

Present now in riches, our heritage wanes
