One takes an even path No give or gain Into a future to which submission yields pain To be a fatalist Absorbing every rich Brought forward by the wind Yet nothing more Forces moving pull towards and push away A driftwood in the current Bliss or hurt A victim to the day One crosses over The dead hold on to no such pieces Control is a facade Fast crumbling in the face of disease A mind's as boundless As days before its vessel expires Heart pumps fire amplified Rips self structure from inside High upon a mountain Or a prison cеll Or mansion All is transient Passenger or steering wheel in hand Thе night still falls The ride still ends as it ends How high days were numbered Makes no difference Once the memories all have ceased to be Strife or acquisition have no meaning Once the burden is set free Blood cracks being's corridors Tears self structure from within Contrary uneven path To give it all and reap its gain's own bounty Pragmatic way of life An activist controls its own domain Unreliant on wind Unmoved by waves Until the storm comes Tear at its core life force (Solo: Phelps) Trivial All paths lead to common stasis ends Damned to do or don't Choice in vain may play with risk or hide in comfort Frugality or excess disappear Erased Be life short or long Nothing is saved Memories cease to be Whether a passenger or driver Life must end NO meaning once the burden is set free One crosses over The dead hold on to no such piece One crosses over The dead hold on to no such piece
