1
Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill
2
if I lose my footing this rock will kill
3
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit
4
So I can't see the top or know how far it is
5
Now life is a constant and death is a beast
6
Everytime it's been fed its presence's increased
7
I feel its wings and its eyes bore my neck
8
This pressure has turned me into a wreck
9
Ooh x 4
10
It's a cold and a hollow and lonely life
11
I've seen anguish and anger, fear and strife
12
Now the darkness comes and it takes my pride
13
But I've learnt to face the darkness in my stride
14
And I've felt its teeth pierce through my neck and back
15
I've felt my skin rip and I've heard my bones crack
16
And if I have strength left we'll soon see
17
For the shadow of life has eaten me
18
Ooh 4x
19
Well now comfort and security leave stride by stride
20
If I could see some way out I'd thow away my pride
21
But I can't go back and my death lies ahead
22
And the end of this life feels me with dread
23
Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill
24
if I lose my footing this rock will kill
25
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit
26
So I can't see the top or know how far it is
