Rhythm of Life

To the critics and the cynics who don't understand the lyrics To the atheists and the pessimists Wanting company in their darkness You may see me as a fool,yes,a charlatan,an egotist, But I'd rather be this in your eyes, Than a coward in His I began as Isis, the high Priestess My arms stretched to Sirius,me,the serpent Venus, Awaken the fetus,fertility to Jesus, Come and meet us (you are the seed in us) Looking within I can see beyond my sight The cities, the sky, the planets roll by I awake and die, I awake and I die, yeah This is the rhythm of life Next I was lightning, God energy fighting To tell my widow surviving, I was still alive in Another plane of life n' I struck hime seven times He finally looked to the sky, Shed a tear and joined me dying Looking within,I can see beyond my sight The cities, the sky, the planets roll by I awake and I die, I awake and I die, yeah This is the rhythm of life Rhythm of life, rhythm of life, this is the the rhythm of life Now I am me, in diffident lead,responsibility, Trying to face my fear,from the trailer park to hear Over mountains, through my death, From Harbinger to Amen. May my actions outweigh my words May my lifetime be of worth Looking within I can see beyond my sight The cities, the sky, the planets roll by I awake and I die, I awake and I die, yeah This is the rhythm of life All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women, merely players they have their exits, And their entrances And one man in his time.
