Think of your lifetime as one day   It's fading away, the shadows are growing long   Think of existence as a flame, and death as rain   Storm clouds there right along      At life's eve our flames will cease   Eternally, unavoidably   Eventually all paths will lead to the cemetery      We are but falling leaves in the air, hovering down   Unaware we are spinning around   Scattered fragments of time, like blinks of an eye   We are, that's all we are      Think of your lifetime as one year   Look, autumn is here   Getting colder... The winter is impending   Your conclusion's drawing near - certain, austere   Yes, only the circle's unending      At life's eve our flames will cease   Eternally, unavoidably   Eventually all paths will lead to the cemetery   To the prior deceased      We are but falling leaves in the air, hovering down   Unaware we will hit the ground   Scattered fragments of time, like blinks of an eve   We are      Just when we realize that we are alive   We die
