The Serpent Eats Its Tail (Live)

Survival, the only necessity in life

Is surely comprised of struggle and strife

An endevour of stasis and preservation

Adversity the very fabric of being

To be human is to hurt

Pain, a condition for life

Inseparable from existence

It enables and disable the ability to be

And so they command one another

But must this cycle be unbroken?

Woe, the key of continuance

And survival is to live...

Life through necessarily painful

Is not essential in itself

It needn't happen, is a bestowing

Accident or chance

This, it's most terrible wonderful secret

Tis a blessing and a curse

Birth seems an anathema

Full of cries and wailing

Humanity begins in utter discomfort

How augural a welcome

And so we live... i live...

And here is our very burden

To not abort what eventually still ends

To invert the agony, the very air,

And we begin to appreciate
