[Words & Music: T. Björn] It knows no time, life or race Terminates, leaves just an empty space It rises high, black and shapeless Falls low, smooth and soundless All in it's way, will be gone like yesterday Crawling faster, our disaster Now it has come to take us there To the place where we all beware And who knows what it has to show We'll figure it out from down below Next in line, a sorrowed face Swept away, end of chase Another foolish desperate try Keeps me asking the question, why? Prayers are good, for lack of sense The final stand, darkness so dense Now it has come to take us there To the place where we all beware And who knows what it has to show We'll figure it out from down below Even though the sun might shine now The shade will come and tuck you in Even if your life's divine now, it too shall end You're in denial, trying to turn away But it will catch up on you someday Maybe tomorrow or the next decade But everyone will face eternal shade Even though the sun might shine now The shade will come and tuck you in Even if your life's divine now it too shall end
