And down we go again
Into the ocean of shadow
Towards the sea of despair
In the deep groves of the death
Lifeline running in roaring stream

Like sand slipping through my fingers
Nothing ever lasts, ever will

To impart elegance all living
Experience the grandeur in giving
Felicity found in commitment
Tranquility in mere being

And down we go again
Under the relentless waves
Into the arms of calm breakers
Into the bayou of forgotten dreams

Like sand slipping through my fingers
Nothing lasts, ever will

To impart elegance all living
Experience the grandeur in giving
From existence into oblivion
Not in cycles, but in lines

Getting nowhere fast
By contending with time
Accept the alteration
Come to terms with your days

Down we go just the same
Into the ocean of sorrow
Towards the sea of despair

This river runs relentlessly
And this river runs deep

This river runs relentlessly
And this river runs deep

Not in cycles, but in lines (x7)
