To bear witness to death, in all its brutality, shakes your vision of the world
To see the ultimate suffering and harsh reality destined to become us all, will change you
Until you have viewed death and it’s indifference to human life
You will not be fully realized
To see the ultimate suffering and harsh reality destined to become us all, will change you
Until you have viewed death and it’s indifference to human life
You will not be fully realized
Trauma and tragedy can bring new life, new perspective
But you must seek confrontation with the darkness that exists in the universe
This confrontation may bring destruction of the soul, inescapable nihilism and paralysis by fear
But you must seek confrontation with the darkness that exists in the universe
This confrontation may bring destruction of the soul, inescapable nihilism and paralysis by fear
Or it can bring flourishing new growth, rebirth of mind, body and soul
This is your ultimate decision in the face of tragedy and despair
Meditate on this concept, your own mortality and the mortality of others
How you and those you love will fade to black, existing no more
This is your ultimate decision in the face of tragedy and despair
Meditate on this concept, your own mortality and the mortality of others
How you and those you love will fade to black, existing no more
Consumed by a force you can never control
Weep for those who lived with unrealized potential never manifested
Deep meaning never sought
A life lived in passivity
Until you have seen death, you will never know life
Weep for those who lived with unrealized potential never manifested
Deep meaning never sought
A life lived in passivity
Until you have seen death, you will never know life
Until you have been in darkness, you will not truly know light
Until you have witnessed the end of a life’s story
The light of the soul extinnguished
Taken into the veil of the unknown, by the pale grip of the angel of death
Never to return again,
Until you have witnessed the end of a life’s story
The light of the soul extinnguished
Taken into the veil of the unknown, by the pale grip of the angel of death
Never to return again,
You will not fully comprehend the magic of reality
And the preciousness of life
If you never confront this darkness and stride into the vast possibilities with which life brings
You will never see realized, a life lived in bravery not fear
And the preciousness of life
If you never confront this darkness and stride into the vast possibilities with which life brings
You will never see realized, a life lived in bravery not fear
