Everlasting Life
I'm still pounding that rock
And the slope is just getting worse
Just like I had predicted
I had reached neutral ground
and I believed I could pause and relax
I saw a road that went right into the sky
So that's what the sweet by and by means
Oh, I was duped, I could weep
You continue on your path
or the rock falls on you again
You will die anyway
