till I push this boulder up this rocky hill If I lose my footing this rock will kill Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit So I can't see the top or know how far is it
Now life is a constant & death is a beast And every time it's been fed its presence increased I feel its wings & its eyes bore my neck And this pressure has turned me into a wreck
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's a cold & a hollow & a lonely life I've seen anguish & anger, fear & strife Now, the darkness comes & it takes my pride But, I've learned to take the darkness in my stride
I felt its teeth pierce through my neck & back I felt my skin rip & heard my bones crack And if I have strength left we'll soon see For the shadow of life has eaten me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Comfort & security leave stride by stride If I could see someway out I'd throw away my pride But I can't go back & my death lies ahead But the end of this life fills me with dread
Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill If I lose my footing this rock will kill Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit So I can't see the top or know how far is it
