Oblivion Is the Price
OBLIVION IS THE PRICE
Oblivion is the price to be paid
When attempts all fail to engage the mind
And the key that’s lost you can never find
Even when the best of plans have been laid
The mental quest is over, I’m afraid
No prospect of success of any kind
Oblivion is the price
Despite what efforts that may have been made
No contract or certificate was signed
Was it naivete or were you blind
As the world around you begins to fade
Oblivion is the price
