This is a song about coming to grips with the possibility that I'll never leave any lasting "legacy" for future generations. And that's okay. ;-)

In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as permanence
The very thought that you can leave your mark is arrogance
Even emperors are eventually forgotten
We’re all just dinosaurs and dragons before the comet

You work so hard
You play so rough
And in the end it’s not enough

In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as history
We’re just a ripple in the pond of mystery
No celebrity, army or money can protect us
Building our sandcastles in a tsunami

You work so hard
You play so rough
And in the end it’s not enough
Makes no difference how life goes
Just let the spirit flow
(solo, repeat chorus)

In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as happiness
Life’s just a penny on the sidewalk to nothingness
In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as sorrow
We’re all just temporary fools
Temporary fools
Temporary fools
