| 4.5 billion years
|
| Molding the perfect domain
|
| Yet in the cosmic timeline
|
| A few months the earth has remained
|
| Seconds ago we arose as a race
|
| What can we know of our destiny
|
| Ancient giants of old
|
| Last only days in the chain
|
| Held on for millions of years
|
| Still somehow they faded away
|
| The truth that is staring us all in the face
|
| Is knowledge that someday we too will die
|
| Elements arose within a January storm
|
| Spiraled in the spring time towards an avaricious hole
|
| Solid rock and rubble battled gravity’s control
|
| Through these eyes, we will see and know what it means
|
| To live and die on this day
|
| As a fleeting memory
|
| So as we journey through the fray, though the fear remains
|
| Open your mind
|
| Look to the skies
|
| Question this life
|
| And rage towards the dying of the light
|
| Summer solar systems merged and life began to frame
|
| Autumn married light and water, carbon fueled the flame
|
| Set the stage and wrote the rules for all who played the game
|
| And in these winter days we’ll see and know what it means
|
| To live and die on this day
|
| As we mortals journey on
|
| Lest we endure to stake our claim on our right to stay
|
| Go now, live for the day
|
| Don’t waste time, our lives won’t last the night
|
| Your days though numbered are precious
|
| And worth the fight, so hold on till the dawn
|
| Within December days began the supersonic climb
|
| Advance the mortal game and pass the grueling test of time
|
| The final minutes of the year will catch us in our prime
|
| What will the stroke of midnight bring
|
| Does our fate remain
|
| To live and die on this day
|
| Evolutions failed design
|
| So once more into the grey
|
| We must fight to stay
|
| Live and die on this day
|
| Open your mind |
