Monument
Hallows Eve Lyrics

This era, this music, this scene
The current time period of this particular style of music and the community that surrounds it.

Our great monument to nothing
Our dedication to this transient culture and its music may be seen as pointless in the grand scheme of things.

This glory, this sweat, this play
The power that emanates from these performances, created with intense effort and passion.

Makes no difference what we say
Despite the messages that the lyrics convey, the true significance of the monument lies beyond just the words.

For every man stands a ghost
Every living person has had an impact on their world, whether it be major or minor.

For every ghost stands a star
Those who have passed on have left their mark on this Earth, and have become symbols of hope and inspiration.

For every star stands a thought
These symbols represent memories and ideas that have been preserved in the collective consciousness of humanity.

And these accumulate somewhere
These memories and ideas are not just lost with time, but are gathered and preserved throughout history.

If God is the personification
If a higher power truly exists as a representation of all of human thought and experience...

Of the total of man's thought
...then that higher power must be an accumulation of all of our ideas and memories as a species.

Then I must be the reflection
Therefore, I am a reflection of the collective experiences and thoughts of everyone who has come before me.

Of all you have fought
I represent the struggles and triumphs that have been fought for and achieved by our ancestors throughout history.

Look into a place that you dare not look
If you take a deeper look into the symbolism behind our monument and all that it represents...

You'll find me staring back at you
...you will see that I am a reflection of yourself, and all of humanity's experiences and thoughts.

A perfect reflection, your mirror
I am a flawless reflection of who you are, and what you have contributed to the world.

Your representative, I am you
I am an embodiment of all that you are, and all that you have done in your life.

Here we stand all as one
We are all united together in our experiences and our contributions to this world.

Nothing said as we are done
Silence falls as we conclude the performance, but it is the impact of our shared experience that truly matters.

But no matter what we do
Regardless of the meaning or significance of the lyrics or symbolism of our monument...

We're together, me and you
...we are all still connected through our shared experiences and the impact we leave on the world, both individually and collectively.
