Eternity is within de Shadows Fall

Man has programmed himself to die
a death wish has been ingrained
almost with our first breath
we are taught to expect our last
Science has done its best to choke off
the true instincts of mankind
death is impatient and thoughtless
mortality is a disease of the mind
Embrace the gifts before you
paradise is underfoot
eternity is within
Lost site of the bounty before us
boundless resource of pleasure and plenty
living for an intangible
in a future clouded with doubt
One step forward is one step
deeper into the grave
breath of life
