The beauty of nature and wonders of art All fade away like dust in the wind depart The glory of kingdoms and power of might All come to an end in the face/ of eternal night Yet in the darkness there is a glimmer of light A spark of hope that doth shine so bright For if all is meaningless then what do we lose In the face of this truth we can choose our own views The abyss of mind Where all-purpose and value are left behind The abyss that doth lurk within a soul And find a purpose to make us whole The abyss of mind Where all-purpose and value are left behind The abyss that doth lurk within a soul And find a purpose to make us whole The darkness of nihilism doth consume All that we hold dear all that we assume In the void a freedom doth arise To create meaning and to surmise In the end all shall fade away But in this moment we can choose to slay
