[Verse 1]
A shell for the earth, all seasons reverse
A life inside out in a jet-black hearse
The feel of pain and the taste of dirt
A darkened sky and 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is a path; death a destination
Life is a path; death a destination

[Chorus]
I've met the end of being, my eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting, and watch my body die
Die!

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Life is a path; death a destination
Life is a path; death a destination

[Chorus]
I’ve met the end of being, my eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting, and watch my body die
Die!

[Breakdown]
I’ve met the end of being
My eyes are open wide
I feel myself depleting
Watch my body die

[Outro]
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
Life (life) is a path, death (death) a destination
