Lord of all that lives
Yourself you would surely give
For the adoration of one
Who rules us all under the sun.

As the want to please begins to fade
And you live in darkening shade
A freezing chill stops all around you
You're trapped in an icy hue.

Amid these timebound waves
Doomed to forever stay
Cheating the hands of life
Running away from strife.

As you don your hat, head for the door
You give it a thought no second more
Of how your being will meet its end
No one ever does to tend.

For testing Fate will surely be
A path well strewn with misery
And your life may reach the top
But the struggle never stops.

Amid these timebound waves
Doomed to forever stay
Starlight fell from way above
Nothing fills these waves with love.

As many, many years go by
It's getting harder not to cry
The ones you knew will never miss
The one who shied away from bliss.

The keeper of time has cut your strings
That world no bonlessness will bring
Now you will not ever go
How you didn't try, they all will know.

Amid these timebound waves
Doomed to forever stay
The freedom that did once surround you
Now is gone, and that is true.

Amid these timebound waves
Doomed to forever stay
Never did you pay the toll
Now your existence you do not control.
