Everything Withers In Time

A song from quite some time ago, I can't exactly remember when I actually made it (will have to look it up I guess...) Downbeat electropop song. I have quite a fatalistic nature which you can tell from the lyrics. The song deals with the fact that only death is a 100% certainty, from that point of view everything else actually loses its meaning....so, this might either turn you into madness, or you could just try to make the best out of the 70-odd years we walk this planet. Enjoy..! Comments welcome! --------------------------- There’s nothing left of the greatness Even the ruins are washed away by the sands of time A king in all his grandeur and an empire forged by war All things return to dust All bodies return to ashes As the fire consumes the body The gods look down in envy There is no remedy for our mortality We must cherish the little time that we’re given No two days are the same We moan and writhe with pain For the burning angst that one day we won’t be here Drove us into the arms of slender deities Even the brightest hearts possess this hidden fear Of losing everything in just one fatal moment The hearse has room for all Leaders and rank and file Kings, queens and criminals Children and infidels The rich, the poor, the sick The greedy and the meek There is no remedy for our mortality We must cherish the little time that we’re given
