I Have Seen Where It Grows

A shell for the earth, all seasons reverse
Life inside out in a jet black hearse
The feel of pain, and the taste of dirt
A darkened sky, 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
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
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
Life is a path
Death, a destination

Well, I've met the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
And watch my body die (die!)

I've met the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
And watch my body die

Lifeline is a path
Death, a destination
Lifeline is a path
Death, a destination
Lifeline is a path
Death, a destination
Lifeline is a path
Death a destination
