Zero Temperance

To be alive is to be awake

And I’ve barely opened my eyes

Now torn from existence at the yore of my day

So many stories left to tell



I erupted into life against all odds

Yet the thirst for it I could not quench

My desires they brought me out here

To do nothing more but to witness... the end



So scatter my ashes across the wildest of oceans

For I was to see it all

Having been born with zero temperance



No, I did not let myself be forced into submission

Always with hungry heart and open mind

But I would do it yet again, yeah

And go out with a grin on my face



My friends carry me to the pyre

This bonfire lit only for me

I have come to terms with the world

To be able to see the curtains fall



Celebrate the infinite passion

By which this fate was set in motion

Once kindled by discontent

And my feet start moving on their own



So scatter my ashes throughout the lushest of forests

For I was to see it all

Having been born with zero temperance



So scatter my ashes atop the highest of mountains

For I was to see it all

Having been born with zero temperance
