"Now, nobody lives forever
Nothing stands the test of time
You heard them say "never say never"
But it's always best to keep it in mind
Every tower ever built tumbles
No matter how strong, no matter how tall
Someday even great walls will crumble
And every idol ever raised falls
And someday even man's best-laid plans
Will lie twisted and covered in rust
When we've done all that we can but it slipped through our hands
And it's ashes to ashes and dust to dust."
