Programmed to Die Lyrics

In the end we all suffer the same fate
Succumbing to age the cure is too late
No way to prevent your dying date

Degeneration starts with birth
Living to die everything on earth
Embedded in the genetic code
Rapid decay can only be slowed

Moving towards the end each and every day
Through cellular death and radioactive decay

The caps on our DNA eventually will rot away
No cells are sparred broken strands go unrepaired
Chromosome ravage from environmental damage
All the years that go by everything is programmed to die

Planets will disintegrate atmosphere will ablate
Neutrons decay away the laws of nature they obey
At the end in the dark it will repeat with a spark
All the years that go by everything is programmed to die

All matter will turn to energy
Putting the universe in jeopardy
All will be nothing eventually

Stars will swell and stars will collapse
No way to stop it time will elapse
All life and light will eventually fade
The cosmos is a masquerade

Moving towards the end each and every day
Through cellular death and radioactive decay

All that is all that was all that will ever be
Will decay will breakdown will dissolve eventually
Whether near whether far no matter where in space
Everything no longer will exist anyplace
