The rhythm of life
|
Heaven withstanding and smiling we're all swept away
|
The rhythm of life
|
Is not so demanding as some caught in narrows would say
|
|
Fragile as ships as we pass through Gibraltar
|
The sirens have long given way
|
Dark as the murky graveyard of sailors
|
Whispering secrets told in the crashing waves
|
|
The beating of hearts
|
Set walls to trembling the power of silence persuades
|
The stumbling feet
|
Stagger predestined we all end up wild eyed and crazed
|
|
And from the madness most jaded of vision
|
Reflections of horror invade
|
Running and falling relinquish your venom
|
The antidote surely will cause your affliction to fade
|
|
How little we know of what we are blessed with
|
Our shimmering island it turns
|
How little we look at what we see clearly
|
Of tragedy's lessons not learned
|
|
Sleeping through classes we'll make it up later
|
There's still so much time left to go
|
Misguided roses we bloom in October
|
Emerging triumphant in time for the season's first snow
|
