Tick. Tock. A spin in the clock.
A worm dies.
A human's born.
Tock. Tick. A spin in the wheel.
Let's cycle again.
Trying to flee.
Tick. Tock. A spin in the clock.
Lost, pain,
pleasure and gain.
Nothing means "Death",
nothing means "Birth".
It's just pain and pleasure
all over again.

Tick. Tock. A spin in the clock.
A worm dies.
A human's born.
Tock. Tick. A spin in the wheel.
Let's cycle again.
Trying to flee.
Tick. Tock. A spin in the clock.
Lost, pain,

Nothing means "Death",
nothing means "Birth".
It's just pain and pleasure

In Hinduism and Buddhism, Samsara is the continuous and eternal cycle of death and rebirth, where beings experiment suffering and pleasure for the eternity, unless they exit the loop (nirvana or moksha).
