III. The Serpent Eats Its Tail Lyrics

Survival, the only necessity in life
Is surely comprised of struggle and strife
An endevour of stasis and preservation
Adversity the very fabric of being
To be human is to hurt
Pain, a condition for life
Inseparable from existence
It enables and disable the ability to be
And so they command one another

But must this cycle be unbroken?
Woe, the key of continuance
And survival is to live...
Life through necessarily painful
Is not essential in itself
It needn't happen, is a bestowing
Accident or chance
This, it's most terrible wonderful secret
Tis a blessing and a curse

Birth seems an anathema
Full of cries and wailing
Humanity begins in utter discomfort
How augural a welcome
And so we live... i live...
And here is our very burden
To not abort what eventually still ends
To invert the agony, the very air,
And we begin to appreciate
