Rubén Darío - Fatality lyrics
[Rubén Darío - Fatality lyrics]
Trees are lucky because they
Barely sense a thing
Stones, as well, because they're hard
Beyond all feeling
No pain's greater than the
Pain of being aware
Human consciousness produces the
Worst despair
To be, yet know nothing with
No clear way to go, the fear of having been
A future terror, too
The unerring dread of being dead tomorrow
And suffering through life and
Through shadows and through
The unknown and what one cannot anticipate
The temptation of flesh, the fresh
Fruit still to come
Our tombs and the memorial
Laurels that await
Not knowing where we're going
Or even where we're from!
Barely sense a thing
Stones, as well, because they're hard
Beyond all feeling
No pain's greater than the
Pain of being aware
Human consciousness produces the
Worst despair
To be, yet know nothing with
No clear way to go, the fear of having been
A future terror, too
The unerring dread of being dead tomorrow
And suffering through life and
Through shadows and through
The unknown and what one cannot anticipate
The temptation of flesh, the fresh
Fruit still to come
Our tombs and the memorial
Laurels that await
Not knowing where we're going
Or even where we're from!
