lyrics

A man, no longer in his prime
His body, rejecting motion
Slowly degrading, running short on time
The end nearing, that's the notion
The destruction, like an endless crime
Result, only commotion

Very rich, but oh so weak
Does that enrich, beyond critique

As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible

If one is to live, must they be living
yet to live, one is not necessarily living
While I may live, my neighbor is not living
But the man who has died was in fact living
but yet his fortune was ended when he was no longer living
If one doesn't live, then is it truly a requirement to live
If one decides not to live, then is their living not an
improvement upon the lives of the others who are living,
or even the lives of those who find themselves not to be living
Will the living decide to take this as a degradation or
will they inspire the will of those not living to live
The only true inspiration to the living is to overcome
all obstacles, notably those of physical state, and
by doing so will truly become living.

Wise man, still youthful in mind
His brain, accepting increment
Always advancing, getting better with time
The horizon is infinite
The construction, on an upward track
Result, only forward motion

Very rich, but oh so weak
Does that enrich, beyond critique

As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible

As all moves forwards,
I move backwards
as life becomes inhospitable,
collapse is visible
