lyrics

I'm not scared
By the looming oblivion beyond
They sell fear to their masses
But I won't buy, I won't tremble, won't be conned

This short life's all that we have. Why waste it?

I'm not scared
By tales of eternal damnation
Heaven and hell are both earthbound
It's what we are, what we're doing, what we've done

Make the best life you can. Don't waste it.

You only fear what you don't know.

Just one brief flicker of consciousness
Then never-ending days of being dead
A speck of dust afloat in the abyss
Survived by things you've done and what you've said

Nothingness is waiting
While you're procrastinating
Sliver of life goes wasting
Start living

If this short life's all we have, why waste it?
