Lyrics

That idea of immortality 
Is so pervasive in our youth
The greater risk, the lesser odds
The dangers that we choose
As surely we defy our fate and rush headlong into
That slowly closing gate

But then one day it all becomes too clear
That once was can no longer be
It was in something that we couldn’t do
Or in something we could not feel
Questioning what we’ve become as our journey approaches
That slowly closing gate

Days pass so quickly now
And our memories do fade
Hiding that blatant fear
But the ending remains the same
And we all shall pass through that slowly closing gate

And like so many who’ve been close to me
I, in time, will disappear
And some will speak about me now and then
Talking in memories
And that is all that we become once we’ve made our way
Through that slowly closing gate
