There Is Nothing Eternal

There is nothing eternal.
Therefore, we cannot be bound.

Yet, look upon reality!

With bound iron chains
Shouldered upon our backs,

We begin an invisible war.

"We win, and sometimes we fall."

There is something eternal.
Therefore, we are bound.

"In the name of family,"

With fused iron chains
Locked tightly against my chest,

In your name and mine,
We plant our flag upon this earth!
