With fear at heart you exhale your life   and down, down, down you'll stride      Each impulse you've indulged   failure wears your ring   born a slave to wealth and fame   failure! Where's your king?      With the vortex streams of karmic gravity   sinking to the grosser realms beneath   to the 8th sphere, the gutter of cosmos   from whence arises none      Not Hell but the globe of death   too dense for an eye to detect   the place of complete dissolution   nature's evolutionary absolution      Like a fly captured in a jar   destined to dissolve you are   atom by atom, flaw by flaw   slowly ground in the teeth of All      The shape of shadows and light   puts out the dying fires inside   another soul embraces its end   never to reborn again      With fear at heart you exhale your life   and down, down, down you'll stride      Each impulse you've indulged   failure wears your ring   born a slave to wealth and fame   failure! Where's your king?      With the vortex streams of karmic gravity   sinking to the grosser realms beneath   to the 8th sphere, the furnace of cosmos   from whence returns none
