Think your lifetime as one day It's fading away The shadows are growing long Think of existence as a flame and as rain Storm clouds there right along
At life's eve our flames will cease unavoidably Eventually all paths will lead To the cemetery
We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down Unaware we are around Scattered fragments of time Like blinks an eye we are That's all we are
Think of your lifetime as one year Look autumn is here Getting the winter's impending Your conclusion's drawing near - certain, austere only the circle's unending
At life's eve our flames will cease Eternally, unavoidably Eventually, paths will lead to the cemetery To the prior deceased
We are but falling in the air hovering down Unaware we will hit the ground fragments of time Like blinks of an eye we are
