A shell for the earth, all seasons reverse
A life inside out in a jet-black hearse
The feel of pain and the taste of dirt
A dardened sky and the loss of worth
Lower me down under glorious green
Eternity waits on a broken machine
Exit the soul in a vibrant white
Leaving the shell in the dead of night
Life is a path
Death a destination
I've met the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
And watch my body die
A step to the throne
I stand alone
A vacant mind and a destined home
Engaging the end in a seamless gaze
Like blind I climb through the tortured blaze
Raise me up into white unstained eternity gained
Only life remains
Forever the scars have been washed away
Like blood on the brow of a forgotten day
Life is a path, Death a destination
I've met the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
And watch my body die
Life is a path, death a destination
