Ashes, Ashes

Is this all I am?
Is this all I'll ever be?
With a start and an end...
My little piece of eternity

I can feed the flame
Take comfort in the warmth it brings
Seek fuel to maintain
I see the ash is gathering
It doesn't feel the same
Doesn't fill with wonder like before
Help me feed the flame
This pile won't burn much more

Ashes, Ashes
Soon the fire collapses
How? you want more?
Ashes, Ashes
Who fulfills your last wish now?
You want one more?

Is this all I am?
Is this all I can be?
Some collection of molecules
A fragment of chemistry

And if so, is that so bad?
It kind of feels like we're being had
Heaven waits but the journey is rough
Just being born isn't good enough?
