What is life? Sand in the hourglass What is life? Enigma, such an enigma Just how do I break this code? Into the mind Where nothing is numb No sense dumbed Absolute in being And forever bound to be Out of control And into the throws of the ravaging tides Out of the mould And into the throws of the ravaging tides Out of your hold As time elapsed I came to be And that's where I stand Not mere man Not God nor beast (Just a being) Just a being A shadow of life Dust in the sunlight Waiting to land and disappear Gone forever that's all we are Just dust, no trace, no stain When the breeze comes again We move again For eternity
