As the sun rises and falls And constellations crawl across dark skies Our time here grows ever shorter And the silence of the void beckons us all We are given just one life And each day our fate is left in our hands Choosing whether to build or to destroy As the tides of time crawl across the sands With each moon that passes A life drifts away With each moon that passes Souls slowly decay We may not pass into legend But we will be noted for our deeds Shadows of today cast into eternity And our abstract marks on the world Shall become our legacy The changes that we wrought Shall live on forever Monuments to dreams of the dead And when we return to the earth And leave life to others Our spirit remains and endures
