Salem Hill - Beings lyrics

So what is man but a day? A vapor soon blown away A grain of sand washed ashore The tide reclaims without a war The right of flight an easy choice So say goodbye and live There is no end save in your grave For one last cradle to give Propensity for the floor Capacity for much more So what is life but a breath? A tortured trance a dance to d**h Allowed to bask for a while Then history: somebody's smile True regard sacrifice Frozen in their last embrace Tenets of a lifetime grown (Tenants of a lifetime groan?) In one act are erased Propensity for the base Capacity for such grace Love could change the world …just might save the world…
