And down we go again... 
into the ocean of sorrow 
towards the sea of despair 
in the deep grooves of the death 
lifeline running in roaring stream 

"Like sand slipping through my fingers 
nothing ever lasts, ever will" 

"To impart elegance all living 
experience the grandeur in giving 
felicity found in commitment 
tranquillity in mere being" 

And down we go again 
under the relentless wawes 
into the arms of calm breakers 
into bayou of forgotten dreams 

Like sand slipping through my fingers 
nothing ever lasts, ever will 

"To impart elegance all living 
experience the grandeur in giving 
from existence into oblivion 
not in cycles, but in lines" 

Getting nowhere fast 
by contending with time 
accept the alteration 
come to terms with your days 

Down we go just the same 
into the ocean of sorrow 
towards the sea of despair 

This river runs relentlessly 
and this river runs deep 
not in cycles, but in lines
