Lyric

A human life is but a fleeting dream

Compared to Earth’s long, endless stream

Stars that shine, and stars that fade

All dissolve into eternity’s wave

Everything that lives must fall

Victory and glory, they vanish all

Like bubbles drifting, gone in time

Whether we live in splendor or in woe

The ending’s the same, back to the soil we go

That’s why we etch this fleeting now

How we live our lives—that’s all that counts

Friend or foe, life weighs the same

Man or woman, the soul bears no change

Child or elder, young or old

Life’s precious balance cannot be told

Everything that breathes must fade away

Triumph and glory, illusions in the day

Gone like shadows in the light

Whether we live in splendor or in woe

The ending’s the same, back to the soil we go

How we live our lives—that’s all that counts

Beneath the flag we fought to raise

Countless lives lost, a silent blaze

Regrets and confessions, whispers remain

The quiet screams of the fallen, like rain

Embrace the light, embrace the dark

The ending’s the same, back to the earth we embark

Mark yourself, choose your own way

How you live—that’s all you convey

A human life, like a fleeting dream

Melts into time, gone as it seems

And in the end, we close our eyes
