Peril

We begin with sages and the onionskin

Heartbeats back the first bite and the original sin

That's how it is.

Survival of the fittest till we're all outdone.

When there is no counting, who is number one

Who can feel the sun.



All our lives in peril,

With all our lives in stone

You and me and everyone

And everyone that you know knows it.



We begin with sages and the onionskin

When there is no counting who is remembering

Who can feel it end



All our lives in peril,

With all our lives in stone.

You and me, everyone

And everyone that you know knows it's done.
