The Agonist

Give us your potions
To conceal the decay
A never ending tomorrow
And a forgotten today

An extended stay
In the arms of security
A fear of the unknown
And the slow death of longevity

You have yet to understand existence
Tell me what's so grand about infinity

When time is defied
(a product in the making)
All reason goes blind
(to sell to the weaker)
And if we deny
(victims of nature)
The meaning of life
(to extend the lie)
What will there be left
For us to preserve

Come drown in the fountain
Submit to the water's grasp
Sleepwalking through ages
No thought of collapse

Embers glow - hanging on
Slips smoke to the sky
An act of The Futile
To blink the mind's eye

You have yet to understand existence
Tell me what's so great about infinity

When time is defied
(a product in the making)
All reason goes blind
(to sell to the weaker)
And if we deny
(victims of nature)
The meaning of life
(to extend the lie)
What will there be left
For us to preserve
With no final words
To bring meaning to death

Will we ever accept the end?
