St. Ebbs

Tell me, do you believe in fate?
 Do you believe that we each have a fee to pay?
 And a leaving date
 With no hope to deviate
 That our breathing rate seizes when we reach this age?
 Where do we go when we leave this place?
 Is it nowhere where nobody can see your face?
 There's no need to kneel on your knees and pray
 Cuz seasons change so it may be today
 Looking back on the one life I've had on this Earth
 This planet, this world, I sit back and I ponder
 I have become fond of the fact I've lasted this long
 Though in the past I've done wrong and my battery's gone
 Will things be any different here after I'm gone?
 Will anybody listen to my tracks or my songs?
 You're asking the wrong chap, I know as much as you
 So I'm just confusing matters but it has to be done
 It's a factor in all the planet's mass populace
 That we're asking for knowledge but lack what we want
 There's certain facts that we won't actually know
 We lack the composure to relax and just focus on absolute calm
 And that can do harm so we have to succumb
 To the fact that after we're gone we're transmitted back to the cosmos
 And after the storm the pattern goes on
 So you have to be strong, cuz that's where you belong
 But I want you to see
 What it's like to be me
 And I want to re-
 member me
 I want to be remembered when I enter into heaven
 The day I die then greater than September the eleventh
 But then again when in the history of men
 Has there ever been an event that we never will forget
 Eventually everything tends to irrelevance
 'Til we're left with an ebb that can never be filled
 Every built inevitably will
 Descent into a stillness until the end of the world
 Seasons will change
 Empires will fall
 Don't panic, our planet's to vanish
 You've had a few chances and now it is happening
 Man, he has managed to damage the planet
 So bad that it cannot be fixed
 But the bigger the bomb, the quicker we're gone
 So I quicken my rhythm and finish the song
 I sit in the dark and picture a part
 Of my heart but it's hard cuz I ripped it apart
 Split into half with all of our smarts
 Sick of the starkness but I can't start
 On a mission to start bulding an ark
 Filled with the spark of a star that is dear to my heart
 And here I depart
