On We Go
All the lights of...every life of...every joy and despair
Of the strangers, of the faces - of the people everywhere
Did you ever stop to wonder - where they even go?
Into the ether, passing by unknown
On, we go on....Sparks turning into flame
On, we go on - then ashes are all that remain
From the morning...to the evening...to the deep of the night
The living the dying is all without respite
To the end of never - nothing lasts forever - what then of the soul?
Endlessly in purgatory if heaven's overthrown?
On, we go on... Sparks turning into flame
On, we go on - asking over and over again
If I want nothing
And nothing wants me
If I've nothing on my mind
Would I be free of the vagary
Of the cruel and the kind?
On, we go on - Sparks turning into flame
On, we go on - changing, staying the same
