Nietzsche said, “God is dead.”
So you build castles in the sand,
play god in this godforsaken land,
and create a hollow eternity
within the shackles of mortality.
Darling, eternity reaches
beyond light and earth,
and the infinite has
neither end nor birth.
Hawking said, “It’s a fairy story.”
Heaven’s a poor man’s wish
and a rich man’s myth.
So feast, dance, drink your gin,
‘cause tomorrow, Death will win.
Darling, shades of gray
prove the black and white,
altars may seem antiquated
but Truth transcends time.
Shakespeare said, “Love is blind.”
It’s just sweet words and lies,
all good things have to die.
So chase the dream, chase the girl
everyone wants to gain the world.
Darling, the life we live
will echo in forever,
and you’ll find your heart
where you find your treasure.
