about

Illustrates how all of the "spiritual" things we desire ultimately stem from the survival instinct.

lyrics

Just look inside yourself...
At the dreams that drive you forward...
And the fears that make you live your life this way...
Oh...your thirst for eternal life...
It stems from the will to survive...

Yet you know one day we all must die
And no amount of faith will make truth from lies
So don't delude yourself but rather seize the day;
There's no second chance once your time slips away ...
All your fears of torment and everlasting pain
Are just a function of the brain...

It's all to keep you alive...
Just a part of your will to survive
Fear itself is but a physical drive
Savor your existence and open your eyes... while you still have time

To long for an afterlife is a longing for death...
Be strong and relish this only life until the day you draw your final breath...

Embrace your inner desires
No forgiveness is required
Accept no shame for being who you are...
Every man and every woman is a star...
Each on our one true path...
And bear in mind that any day could be your last...


It's all to keep you alive...
Just a part of your will to survive
Fear itself is but a physical drive
Savor your existence and open your eyes...
Yes it's all to keep you alive...
Just a part of your will to survive
Fear itself is but a physical drive
Savor your existence and open your eyes...

And just live your life...
