Off the Top To the Bottem

Watch closely as life is clear to you mind
hold on tightly as you so encouraged to be kind
but what poupose will it serve
when we will all fade into the clouds
when mind,body,and spirit will curve
CHARGE they yelled steping over the mounds
taking count of the bloodshed
like pigs to the slaughter
We know were going to die 
but why do we wish to
To meet your god, Your saint, Your creator
Run to dusk though we all know we fade at dawn
When you reach high and make it just know what goes up must come down
Off the top to the bottem 
It's only a metaphore
