I Have Seen Where It Grows

A shell for the earth, all seasons reverse
A life inside out in a jet black hearse
The feel of pain, the taste of dirt
A darkened sky, the 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'm at 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'm at the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
And watch my body die, die

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

Life (Life) is a path, death (death) a destination
Life (Life) is a path, death (death) a destination
Life (Life) is a path, death (death) a destination
