Swirling hevel, swirling, swirling
Smoke-like swirls around my hands
Wasted moments, ever wasted
Expressed like judges in my mind
Detriment hidden within reason
Like a knife spun one more time
If She is right I’ll have no comfort
Only torment in my mind
Those six feet under give no answer
Nor the ashes on the wind
Nor my time in ponderous sorrow
With these thoughts upon my mind
If I am wrong then I will die
Unending deaths in pain and anguish
While She turns her face to glory
Is there nothing more before me
And no reason on my mind?
Have I overthought the very thing
I have been so careful to divine?
There’s always truth, just not for us
The past was written down by man
In many ways and many forms
So what to trust and what is truth?
Hevel, hevel, all is hevel
Just as The Story says

Hevel is the Hebrew word for smoke or vapour and is used many times in Ecclesiastes in the Bible. “Like a knife spun one more time” refers to the suicide game Spin the Knife. This is not meant to allude to violence, simply the consequences of fate.
