When the harsh insignificance of man
Is put into perspective
Compared against the expanse of time
Does the futility of your actions speak truth?
Our existence is nothing more
Than an iota of everything that is to be conceived
For once bones turn to dust
And the earth wilts away, all that will be left behind
Are the echoes of the souls that were bound in space
So label me a pessimist, perhaps
But there is comfort here
And find serenity in recognising this one ultimate truth
And so we face the great ruinous deed of mankind
Eternal conflict, the penance we must endure
I have gazed afar and witnessed the very fabric
Of the universe unravel like twine
And in this chasm of emptiness, we are but a ray of light
Our only opportunity, let it not be wasted
For once bones turn dust
And the earth wilts away, all that will be left behind
Are the echoes of the souls that were bound in space
If we cannot live with compassion for one another
The greatest gift that we are granted will be spent in vain
I have gazed afar and witnessed the very fabric
Of the universe unravel like twine
And in this chasm of emptiness, we are but a ray of light
Our only opportunity, let it not be wasted
I have communed with the higher power
Their wisdom bestowed unto me
Yet this feeble vessel, improper
One day I will cross this land
Spreading the message which I've received
Until that time however, I yearn for peace
And so on this bed of rock I lay
Grasping at the memory of bliss
Knowing the ultimatum that awaits us all
And the eternal cycle that we occupy
Hold your head up high, walk with me into the void
