(Listen to "Cycle of Life")

Cycle of Life

The writer thinking gustatory sound hallucinations

The fighter sinking thrust toward the ground in ruination

The writer and the fighter, the feather and the knife

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life

The lovers tie the knot, accepting one another

The place that time forgot, the momentary hover

Signing for the title of a husband or a wife

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life

Toying with enjoying hard knocks of battle school

Spoiling with the cloying, the mockery of fools

Delightful and the spiteful, the pleasure and the strife

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life

Counting dwindling currency and spending only sweat

A mounting sense of urgency and sinking into debt

Miserly survival when the money’s getting tight

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life

The writer and the fighter, the feather and the knife

Signing for the title of a husband or a wife

Delightful and the spiteful, the pleasure and the strife

Miserly survival when the money’s getting tight

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life

Just a part of the cycle, the cycle of life
