The Illusion Of Permanence


Nothing lasts forever
Entropy lurks like a wolf in the pasture
We cover his tracks with a coating of white wash
But a new day reveals the imminence of our demise

Do you worship the god of industrial beauty?
Do you tremble in fear at the truth?
Look in the mirror Do you see wrinkles there?
Time is the hunter and it sees through your mask

Chorus
All flesh is like the grass and it's beauty like a flower
We live, we die and like dust our bones are scattered
The face you see in the morning betrays you
And once again the illusion of permanence is shattered

Consider all who've gone before
Do you think you can avoid your demise?
In a moment, in a moment,
In the blink of your eye, this will all be over!

You want to live forever
But you insist the solution be on your terms
You can have a heavenly body
but the choice that you make is the choice that will save or condemn you

Look to the First and the Last for the answer
See in His eyes and see eternity
Follow His lead you will never see darkness
Give Him your love and receive eternal life

Chorus

All it takes is your desire to fly away from what awaits you here
Take His hand
Call His name
Tomorrow may never arrive
Surrender before it's over!
