It begins

Just a little too perfect

Something’s amiss

And we don’t know why

It feels like we’re aging

Constant raging, never better

Everything is fine

...yeah, right

Never known a conflict

Never had a need

Never lost a friend

Because we always agreed

Never disregard the need for turmoil

Eternity is just around the corner

In the beginning

The goblins were born

Peaceful and pure

Knowing and wise

Caring and true

You get the point

The point is the end that you stick in the enemy

In the beginning,

Life plodded on

Honest and fair

Knowing no lies

Humble and good

Faithful and kind

Dreadfully dreary, reality-blind

What does it mean to be alive?

And would it mean anything at all

If we were never gonna die?

Now time’s moving on

They’re still getting on

But something’s been bugging them all along

Can’t shake the feeling

That something is wrong

Life is so boring when we get along

Immortal in eden

Surrounded by cretins

They wait for the answer

They start to feel beaten

Venturing into the dark

Can’t wait for the bite if you don't hear the bark

What does it mean to be alive?

And would it mean anything at all

If we were never gonna die?

Throw it away, what's left to need

When you’ve got infinity

So much out there left to find

We'll do that some other time

But everyone gets restless

And all things must pass

What was once perfection

Was too good

Too good to last

What does it mean to be alive?

And would it mean anything at all

If we were never gonna die?

Throw it away, what's left to need

When you’ve got infinity

So much out there left to find

We'll do that some other time

Twist it up!

Bring us a conflict

It’s all that we need

Goodbye to so-called friends

Because we never agreed

It’s time for drugs and sex and violence

A life of excess and mindless highness
