Never forever

Walking through a land stranded from time
Nothing moved, even the wind would not emit its chime
It maybe once was not like this, grey and desolated
It probably changed who knows when,  now menacing and isolated

Stuck between dawn and dusk, having never met a rising sun
Nobody ever knew if anybody saw how it begun
Frozen in Silence, sign of all Life having left
And nobody knows of where the light went, who or what was responsible for that theft

A dead heath of cloudless ash grey sky
Rocks like sharp fangs, from the ground rising high
A dry place of inanimate tree corpses
Those dust piles may have once been bushes?

Walking here feels like I'm on another planet
My steps making no sounds because of this strange grey carpet
This place feels eerie, like it doesn't want me here
Frankly, I don't want to be there either, the silence is worse than everything to my ear

I don't know how I ended up in this cursed place
All I know is that I have to keep up my pace
I've got this feeling that if I ever stop moving
I'm gonna get captured in this anomaly where time is no king

What happened here? I have no idea
Heck, I'd kill for some pizza...
There are no signs of life, present or past
Man, it's been a while and I'm walking fast..

I could almost smell it, since the air is so empty
No sounds, no smells, this place is so creepy..
Wait, where am I going? As far as I remember, I've always been walking
I'm barely leaving footsteps, though, it's like I'm slowly vanishing..

But what's the point of existing for nothing?
I don't know who I am, and I feel strangely calm about not knowing.
Is it just me, or is the ground coming closer?
Oh, I see, it's me who's falling. Hm, this dust tastes bitter.

Should I get up? I don't think I will.
This Silence now feels like a cozy, safe blanket, but I know it's there for the kill
I know it, yet I feel detached. How long was I there?
Feels like it's been since Always, but at this point, I don't care.

I feel.. strange. Light. Oh.. I'm turning into ash.
It feels like the process takes forever.. or is it in a flash?
Time has no grip on this place and a mortal mind struggles with this fact
Being in a timeless place a second also means forever
and we're not made for that

Grey.. grey.. it is all I see
I am a spectre now, I feel strangely free
I am everywhere yet nowhere, actually
Who needs time when you've got eternity?

I am one with this place and this place is me
I want to share this feeling with everyone like me!
Oh, movement, how strange in this immobile place
He has been walking forever and never, and he seems to fight to keep his pace

In his face I see a vague hunger
But after a second (or a year?) his mind wanders
He looks behind him, seeming vaguely worried, frightened
And immediatly, or an eternity after the event, he falls down, seeming exhausted

Something comes over him, or was that me?
His skin turns grey, his sense of self flees
He vanishes, or joins this world?
No difference is to be heard

''Did someone talk?''

I hear Silence.
I just turned to dust and feel strangely free.
Oh..
Is this somebody walking, I can see?
