Forever and ever, eternity laughs

Fighting time enduring every slash

The sword of time never dulls it's edge

Never knowing which bets I should hedge

Gasp out, then in a deep breath

Tears flow at birth and also at death

So beats this drum inside my chest

I can stop it all but the heart never rests

To whom do I owe the joy of existence

Do these scars show my persistence

Should we try to realize our debt

That our past determines the future of our set

Would joy suffer if it burned

Would despair exist if not spurned

The light exists at the edge of the tunnel

We pour through time in an unending funnel
