We Enter the Door of Death Alone

From an early age, we see the world as it is
Blue sky and green fields, tall mountains and the rivers flow
Simple things and certainties and it all is very pure
Keep a watchful eye on strangers, stay close to your family

When the moment comes and it surely will
No matter how many friends at your side

Solitary travellers
Isolated wanderers
We enter the door of death alone

The older we grow, the water ain’t so clear
The fog shrouds all that you see, simplicity; forgotten luxury
Endless ways to walk astray
Myriad ways in which you could pay
The price for holding on too long, or letting go too soon

When the moment comes and it surely will
No matter how many friends at your side

Solitary travellers
Isolated wanderers
We enter the door of death alone

Not afraid of death, terrified of dying

We are lambs to the cosmic slaughter
Not protagonist, nor chosen

When the moment comes and it surely will
No matter how many friends at your side

Solitary travellers
Isolated wanderers
We enter the door of death alone
