We Are But Falling Leaves - Sentenced

Think of your lifetime as one day

It's fading away

The shadows are growing long

Think of existence as a flame and death as rain

Storm clouds there right along

At life's eve our flames will cease

Eternally unavoidably

Eventually all paths will lead

To the cemetery

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down

Unaware we are spinning around

Scattered fragments of time

Like blinks of an eye we are

That's all we are

Think of your lifetime as one year

Look autumn is here

Getting colder the winter's impending

Your conclusion's drawing near - certain austere

Yes only the circle's unending

At life's eve our flames will cease

Eternally unavoidably

Eventually all paths will lead to the cemetery

To the prior deceased

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down

Unaware we will hit the ground

Scattered fragments of time

Like blinks of an eye we are

Just when we realize we are alive we die
