Fall in to place a splinter in the arrow
|
We shift and change we grow
|
Yet still we are but a speck of dust
|
|
End of evolution a singular future awaits
|
Reverse, contract, collapse
|
And then return to the cosmic egg
|
|
We can't explain nor understand
|
We invent the grandest schemes
|
It doesn't judge, does not punish
|
We can't accept that it just is
|
|
Free wills or scripted tomorrows
|
Universe of infinite sorrow
|
The end gives birth to the past
|
Answers but questions escape us
|
|
A passing phase, presence ends
|
|
This life is all I see
|
In blindness of the memory
|
I move like light through the sky
|
|
I see the future passing by
|
Lips move with nothing else to say
|
As all I knew just fades away
|
Soon there's a new seed formed
|
I watch as all that was is reborn
|
|
[Leads: Perry, Dan]
|
|
Years tick by an end this cosmic drama
|
Melting away as the cycle begins again-identical
|
|
[Chorus]
