No matter the height of one’s love or fame There is but one happy end What lies ahead is in the unknown The trap doors that lay in wait in the dark But in the end When the finality of one’s last breath has drawn The last tally can be taken And only the total remains And if fortune upon you smiled If the darkness only weighed in summer And the sun shone surely more Then I hope a smile upon you breaks Frozen in mortality

The Tally
No matter the height of one’s love or fame There is but one happy end What lies ahead is in the unknown The trap doors that lay in wait in the dark But in the end When the finality of one’s last breath has drawn The last tally can be taken And only the total remains And if fortune upon you smiled If the darkness only weighed in summer And the sun shone surely more Then I hope a smile upon you breaks Frozen in mortality
