What Is Eternal |
AND HERE IN THE NIGHT |
AS I FEEL THE INFERNO |
I STARE IN THE DARK |
THINKING WHAT IS ETERNAL |
THE MAN OR THE MOMENT |
THE ACT OR THE REASON |
THESE THOUGHTS FILL MY HEAD |
AS I CONTEMPLATE TREASON |
OF DREAMS I HAVE HAD |
AND DREAMS I HAVE PONDERED |
WHEN LATE IN THE NIGHT |
MY MIND IT WOULD WANDER |
TO THINGS I HAVE DONE |
AND THEN QUICKLY REGRETTED |
WHILE DENYING VICES |
MY LIFE HAD SELECTED |
AND I THINK WHAT I’VE DONE |
OR HAVE YET TO BEGIN |
AND THE MAN I’VE BECOME |
AND THE MAN THAT I’VE BEEN |
NOW CAUGHT IN A WALTZ |
WITH THE ETERNAL DANCER |
I’M COURTED BY DEATH |
BUT DEATH ISN’T THE ANSWER |
I SAY |
ALL I WAS |
MEANT TO BE |
COULD I |
SUDDENLY |
JUST DECIDE |
NOT A THOUGHT |
WOULD SURVIVE |
COULD IT BE |
MY LIFE’S WORTH |
ENDED THERE |
WITH MY BIRTH |
IF I COULD SEE SOMEONE |
WHO’S BEEN THERE BEFORE ME |
AND TRADED HIS SOUL |
FOR A MOMENT OF GLORY |
HIS PENANCE OR MERCY |
BY SPIRITS DEBATED |
WHILE JUDGED ON A SCALE |
THAT’S BEEN HEAVILY WEIGHTED |
AND WHAT HAVE I DONE |
COULD THERE BE SUCH A SIN |
IN THIS MAN I’VE BECOME |
IN THIS MAN THAT I’VE BEEN |
NOW CALLING TO GOD |
FROM THE PIT’S VERY BOTTOM |
I PRAY HE FORGIVES |
EVERY SIN I’VE FORGOTTEN |
THIS DAY |
AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT |
THAT MY FATE IT WOULD CONJURE |
THIS TWIST IN THE ROAD |
ON WHICH I HAVE WANDERED |
EACH VISION AND DREAM NOW |
COMPLETELY DISMEMBERED |
TO GIVE ONE’S WHOLE LIFE |
AND FIND NOTHING’S |
REMEMBERED |
AND WHAT GOOD IS A LIFE |
THAT LEAVES NOTHING BEHIND |
NOT A THOUGHT OR A DREAM |
THAT MIGHT ECHO IN TIME |
THE YEARS AND THE HOURS |
THE SECONDS AND MINUTES |
AND EVERYTHING THAT |
MY LIFE HAS PLACED IN IT |
BETRAYED |
BETRAYED |
BETRAYED |
THE THINGS I HAVE DONE |
THE PLACES I’VE BEEN |
THE COST OF MY DREAMS |
THE WEIGHT OF MY SINS |
AND EVERYTHING THAT |
I’VE GATHERED IN LIFE |
COULD IT BE LOST |
COULD IT BE LOST IN THIS |
COULD IT BE LOST IN THIS |
NIGHT |
