This life is treacherous
Death, violence, and crime abound

Alas, the top murderer in history
Can never be caught - never served to justice
He lives on forever, dispatching all encountered souls to dark farewells

O! be it my way I'd put handcuffs on time and make the clock obsolete
Deliver Kronos to a dank cell with no parole - no probation
No reprieve for the timekeeper

However, it can never be my way - Sword of Damocles yet dangles aloft the collective head of the world

water - cool, clear, nourishing
essential, vital, necessary
consumed daily - replenishes the body
yet wears thick rock, mineral, and metal to dust
consumed daily - the body ages
degrades, is frail in time
worn to nought akin mountainside canyon
dust of body flows along dust of rock
replenishing another - another - another
