We have to take this to be alive
There's one life to give and so we strive
To build upon this, this way of rhyme
This book of lives, this costume of doubts
[We all readjust from your tastes
Sleep forward so we feel graced
This passage that I've misplaced
Merely existing to stay the same] x2
[Just take this to the extent in which you are
Living the morally predictable way
Hoping, reaching for blank salvation
Every second of every hour of every single day] x2
Wait!
There's only one!
One life!
And then it's done
Just wait,there's only one!
One life!
And then it's none
[I see gallows built in your name
Strangling you while you breathe to pray] x2
You'd rather live and serve and die and be saved
And there's so much you deserve
[To be buried deep, to forever sleep] x4
Just wait!
There's only one!
One life!
And then it's done
Just wait,there's only one!
One life!
And then it's none
I'd rather serve in hell than reign in heaven
