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 is it
5
Now life is a constant & death is a beast
6
And every time it's been fed its presence increased
7
I feel its wings & its eyes bore my neck
8
And this pressure has turned me into a wreck
9
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
10
It's a cold and a hollow and a 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 learned to face the darkness in my stride
14
I felt its teeth pierce through my neck and back
15
I felt my skin rip and I 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, ooh, ooh, ooh
19
Well, my comfort and security leave stride by stride
20
If I could see some way out I'd throw away my pride
21
But I can't go back and my death lies ahead
22
But the end of this life fills 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 is it
27
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
28
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
