Life is magical
so is death
born one hour
in a crib the next

This is forshadowing
to something forgotten
soon after your birth
it's to the cofffin

Crib to coffin
cradle to grave
this simple circle
keeps us enslaved

this special plan
no way around
in dear sweet time
your in the ground

First your born, then you die
always remember
they say you'll live forever
but thats
a
lie
