Where Knowledge Dies
Where Knowledge Dies: A Poignant Reflection on Life's Fragility
Lyrics
Life, instrinsic, so constant
Life is inherent and unchanging.
From my fingertips, it flies
Life escapes effortlessly from my grasp.
Since we learned to walk
Since the early stages of our existence.
The life we seek to find
We are in constant pursuit of a meaningful life.
So profound, long and tense
Profound, enduring, and filled with tension.
It's a search to last
Life is a quest that persists.
I gouge my eyes
I inflict harm upon myself metaphorically.
That saw my demise
Reflecting on the events that led to my downfall.
I crush my arms
I bear the weight of the choices that shaped my existence.
That built this life
My efforts in constructing this life come crashing down.
I'm the grain of ash
I am a small remnant in the aftermath of destruction.
In the wake of fire
I remain after a destructive event, like ashes after a fire.
I'm the drop of blood
A small, symbolic representation of the cost of war.
In the wake of war
A drop of blood in the aftermath of conflict.
To abrogate the bitter end
Striving to eliminate a bitter conclusion.
We gave all our lines
We sacrificed everything for a greater understanding.
To see beyond the veil
Struggling to perceive what lies beyond the surface.
That which lies in years
The essence of time and experience that resides in years.
Swallowed in cosmic tides
Engulfed by vast cosmic forces.
Our cause is lost
Our purpose is defeated or unrecoverable.
I watch the soil wipe
Observing the destruction of the foundation we laid.
As this life we built on lies
Our life built on falsehoods starts to crumble.
Cracks and tears
The structure of our existence develops fractures and tears.
Against the test of time
Challenged by the relentless march of time.
All is wasted
All efforts seem futile and in vain.
I stand upon pillars of sand
I find myself on an unstable foundation.
All is wasted
Everything appears to be wasted or lost.
We're crushed under what we've built
We are overwhelmed by the consequences of our actions.
For naught
All our endeavors seem to be for nothing.
Where knowledge dies
The point or state where wisdom or understanding ceases to exist.
Where knowledge dies
The place or moment where knowledge fades away.
