rubicon
There comes a time
A fateful step
Where a decision must be made
The ladder of life
Yields yet two paths
Each one duly weighed
But sometimes choice
An illusion is
For maybe I am just a pawn
Yet choose I will
Decisively
And cross the Rubicon
mighty setting sun
What meaning will you pass
Beyond the gates of life
How important is a legacy
If it is laced with strife
Better to live true
WIthout regret or fame
Than face the dragon with a farce
For with this you'll be slain
If I stay true to me, to you
The fame will surely come
And with comfort I will welcome, dread
That mighty setting sun
time rips all apart
Rotting flesh, a headless corpse
Time rips all apart
With dismay we know this, fear this
Deep within our hearts
That beast that lives
Below the waves
Within our nightmares still
Has the name "uncertainty"
Slowly does it kill
It rips apart
Even the smart
It takes away
Heroes each day
Crumbling stone, a widening crack
Time rips all apart
To live, transcend, we work with care
To do our measly part
There comes a time
A fateful step
Where a decision must be made
The ladder of life
Yields yet two paths
Each one duly weighed
But sometimes choice
An illusion is
For maybe I am just a pawn
Yet choose I will
Decisively
And cross the Rubicon
mighty setting sun
What meaning will you pass
Beyond the gates of life
How important is a legacy
If it is laced with strife
