He'Ll Never See Reality

There's nothing in the world we know To help us see eternity Or claim its everlasting glow As part of our reality. We're mixing magic potions still As if our primal mind is king. But magic potions will not fill Our need to answer everything. I don't believe in UFOS Or Yetis roaming through the hills, So why would I let myth impose False truth on me that slowly kills. Mankind believes in things unseen To ease the pain of his domain. His mind of reason getting lean As fear remains a mindless stain. If we can't see it, it ain't there, A rule of thumb from childhood one. But when it comes to death's despair It's myth that wins the final run. If answers stay forever free Of man's inate ability To calm and solve this mystery - He'll never see reality.
