Polarity Nelson Lyrics

Dare to think of all as time bombs

Through the gaze of morbid eyes

Brave the dark, and with sight gone

Only now can you see the light

In this crux burdened lifelong

The polarity of life and death

Flooding dread of the unknown

Drowns a bitter final breath

Misbegotten survival

For existence is terminal

Flesh never could rival

And all are dead on arrival

Embrace the polarity

Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel

And yet for naught is all prosperity

Dying: Silence shrouds what is real

We shall embrace this polarity

The paradox: living is lethal

We stoke illusions where nothing is certain

The macrocosm's retrieval

Frailty seeks to uplift such burdens

In life, we balance upon needles

Some draw the lines, others toil for clarity

But in death, we'll prove equal

Don't bide time to embrace this polarity

Misbegotten survival

For existence is terminal

Flesh never could rival

And all are dead on arrival

Destiny of deprival

In spite of instinct most primal

Flesh never could rival

And all are dead on arrival

Embrace the polarity

Living: The gauntlet tempers the steel

And yet for naught is all prosperity

Dying: Silence shrouds what is real

We shall embrace this polarity

Breathing: A function pondered vainly

Sows life, yet it's proof of our frailty

Ceasing tends to move one strangely

Shifts their eyes across this duality

Oblivion beckons as Satan to Eve

Our minds are voracious, on darkness they feed

Cognition awaits, eclipsed by our reach

Where sun is the truth we must learn but not teach

Oblivion beckons, Satan to Eve

Our ravenous minds, on darkness they feed

Cognition is lying, just out of reach

Where sky is the truth, deaf to this speech

Embrace the polarity

Through omnipresence, drawing near our fates

So trivial in essence, quests to mitigate the end

Where we distract ourselves through our diligence

Instead to further an ongoing quest for significance

Until the hourglass sands stain with our macabre state

Unconcerned by if we've succeeded to alleviate the end

Let us distract ourselves through our diligence

To find it's outweighed by a looming insignificance in the end

All is outweighed in the end
