Lyrics by Sean Singer

lyrics

Death waits at the end of this weathered path
onto which we all crawled screaming and naked from the womb
Between the sun and our bodies, the only change
is time and chance - plague roulettes to rain upon us all
Here we slave ragged for the same ground
showered with the blood of righteous men
Better is sorrow than laughter for the heart
and the day of death than the day of birth
Come now, I said to myself, to find out what has worth
all proved meaningless
And when every concubine was spent, and every drop of wine was poured
Death still hadn't moved
One sweeping view of / the works of my hands
and everything I / had toiled to achieve
The only thing that / stared back at me was
the wind that I had / spent my life chasing
We pass through this life like a shadow
(This too is meaningless)
City of the buried dead
(This too is meaningless)
We sip from wisdom's row
(This too is meaningless)
Woe to us who drink the song of fools
(This too is meaningless)
Wisdom comes chained to sorrow
Knowledge is sewn to grief
Renamed solace / laughter is madness
Bored of bodies / pleasure is empty
Wealth and wisdom / our gains are nothing
For the future / remembers no one
Time by time we crawl and crawl and every man is dead and buried
Crime by crime and song by song our deeds are gone, our lives forgotten
