Persistence of Death

That noise of ever drip Moves the mountain The noise of ever sip Youth from your fountain Ageless water caressing my lip Persistence equals my kin Drip...drip...I call it persistence You call it sin Sip...Sip... Indefinite laws rule our time Hear the ghosts rebel Tap...Tap...knock instead of chime Persistence came from hell Definitly wrong was the mime That musk odor of swell Tap...Tap..came the knock Of ever setting knell I call it persistence You call it hell Tap...Tap... Look...look... I see through your eyes Vacant was your mind See what I see, now your demise Searching what did you find? Leap off the cliff no wings will you fly Look...Look..there now you die I call it persistence you call it a lie Look...Look Must you learn from the still Tap...Tap... persistence is key Must you remove your kill Knock...Knock..know now you believe Replace this all with skill Look, Look, as you may need Persistence will be thrill You call it persistence I say YOU kill
