lyrics

We felt the wave break
Our crest has all but fallen
Our mark on history
Was etched before we carved it

Time fails
All life
All kings
Will die

It’s all or nothing
And they’re exactly the same

The stream is strong
Against the current we trudge on
Until we slip and we’re gone

To each his purpose
Whatever it may be
Are you predestined?
Some whim of a phantom being
Or is your path at your discretion?

I hear you listening
You faint echo of nothing

All this happened before
And it will happen again
But we carry no reminders
Of who we were or what we’ve been
Time waits
For all men
It’s got nothing else to do

But still we strive
To gain the knowledge
That will be disproved
When our great-grandkids go to college

All this happened before
And it will happen again
But each further down a timeline
That ends up right where it began
Time waits
For all men
It has no choice but to see us through

The dream is strong
But every aspect is wrong
We’re all fumbling along
In pattern

Either way we’re doomed
Eternity is an endless tomb

Those books
That tried
To expand
Your mind

Guess what?
They lied
You’re dirt
When you die

It’s all or nothing
And they’re exactly the same
