SONG:What Is Eternal

And here in the night
as i feel the inferno
i stare in the dark
thinking what is eternal
The man or the moment
the act or the reason
these thoughts fill my head
as i contemplate treason
Of dreams i have had
and dreams i have pondered
when late in the night
my mind it would wander
To things i have done
and then quickly regretted
while denying vices
my life had selected
And i think what i've done
or have yet to begin
and the man i've become
and the man that i've been
Now caught in a waltz
with the eternal dancer
i'm courted by death
but death isn't the answer
i say
All i was
meant to be
could i
suddenly
just decide
not a thought
would survive
could it be

ended there
with my birth
If i could see someone
who's been there before me
and traded his soul
for a moment of glory
His penance or mercy
by spirits debated
while judged on a scale
that's been heavily weighted
And what have i done
could there be such a sin
in this man i've become
in this man that i've been
Now calling to god
from the pit's very bottom
i pray he forgives
every sin i've forgotten
this day
And who would have thought
that my fate it would conjure
this twist in the road
on which i have wandered
Each vision and dream now
completely dismembered
to give one's whole life
and find nothing's
remembered
And what good is a life
that leaves nothing behind
not a thought or a dream
that mi
