Mortality's Reckoning [Verse 1] The moment you're born, the clock starts to tick, A race against time, life's cruel little trick. Fragile and fleeting, like shadows we cast, The body is dying, we're chained to the past. Choices we make, questionable and wild, Each step that we take leaves an imprint defiled. Disease is coming, yeah, it's part of the plan, A reminder that life ain't a game for the strong man. [Chorus] We are not made for longevity, it's part of the strife, In this fleeting journey, we grapple with life, So enjoy what you've got, make a mark on the scene, Be kind to the souls that you meet in between. No second chances, no turning back, In this mortal coil, we're all on the same track. [Verse 2] Screaming through ages, why can't we break free? While the body decay, where's the spirit to be? Success is a siren, it lures us to wail, In this race towards oblivion, we all have to fail. Moments are withering, truth knows no escape, Every breath we take feels like a calculated mistake. We cling to our dreams like they're leaves in the fall, But each fleeting breath is a wake-up call. [Chorus] We are not made for longevity, it's part of the strife, In this fleeting journey, we grapple with life, So enjoy what you've got, make a mark on the scene, Be kind to the souls that you meet in between. No second chances, no turning back, In this mortal coil, we're all on the same track. [Bridge] So take a moment, breathe it all in, Each heartbeat reminding of the chaos within. Feel the weight of existence, the struggle, the pain, In the fabric of time, we all have to strain. The inevitable truth is harsh but it's clear, The only way out is a dance with our fear. [Verse 3] Grim reminders coat each path that we tread, The fear of mortality hangs heavy over our heads. From youth to decay, it's a cyclical fight, A flash in the darkness, gone out like a light. So let’s live in the now, take a bow for today, Embrace every moment, we’re all on display. No regrets in your heart, just a fire in your soul, As the clock is still ticking, keep playing your role. [Chorus] We are not made for longevity, it's part of the strife, In this fleeting journey, we grapple with life, So enjoy what you've got, make a mark on the scene, Be kind to the souls that you meet in between. No second chances, no turning back, In this mortal coil, we're all on the same track. [Outro] So as we wither and fade, let's hold tight to the ride, The human body is dying, but there's beauty inside. Share love in your fear, spread kindness like seeds, In this moment of chaos, we are all that we need.
