As the heartbeat fades away Into the silence of the room, It creeps up on you and in an instant, Sweeps you away like a broom. Motions come to a halt And just for a moment, time stands still.
You'll never see it again, Not once, or maybe yet until... No words spoken, no questions answered Life now has no meaning as if it were deflowered.
He stands there looking at it all With the snap of a finger it'll all be gone… He's just waiting to answer to his own call Because he knows what's done is done and can't be undone. Knowledge in the present mind will mean nothing later And as it occurs, not a human being can do a thing That's who he is… He is the Taker From him came you and to him you shall go And you'll think, 'How can I reap if I didn't sow?'
The dreary atmosphere will give it away But only you will feel it creeping up on you. You'll beg and plead with him to stay But he'll disregard you and your words and your wish won't come true. And as you come, so you shall go And they will never know…
A seed can grow into a tree And just stand there mighty and strong But for everyone to pass and see? No, you are wrong. The tree will provide shade to you when you need a resting place All you'll have left is a leaf when it's gone When it's withered up and died, And one leaf is better than none There will be no shady tree at your side. So have you got your leaf today?
