March By Night

Left foot right foot left foot right
March in the daytime, march by night
Follow the ones who came before
Everyone walks through the big black door

Some of us fear it, some of us laugh
Some of us work on its behalf
Some of us swear there's grand rewards
Waiting for us through the big black door

Right foot left foot right foot left
These are the rules, this is flesh
Try as we might we can't ignore
No one returns from the big black door

Some move slowly, drag their feet
Some of us race to find release
Some go willing, some are forced
No one escapes from the big black door

Maybe tomorrow maybe today
Maybe you're silent, maybe you pray
No one can prove it, everyone's sure
All is revealed through the big black door

I try so hard to catch a glimpse of it
But the crowd still blocks my view
What i can't see i can't believe in
The road is home, i'm never leaving

You claw and fight to push on past me
But i hold you back each time
If everybody gets there someday
Wait your turn, don't cut in line

You just laugh at my hypocrisy
You say look back and please don't lie to me
You've outpaced your closest friends
You're fucking sprinting towards the end

What you don't see is there's a difference
The door bewilders me when i sense it
I half believe it isn't there
You know too well, you just don't care

Whereof i can't speak i must be silent
But still i lie to fill the quiet
My lies are good or so i'm told
You still haven't walked through the big black door

Left foot right foot left foot right
March in the daytime, march by night
Follow the ones who came before
Everyone walks through the big black door

Left foot right foot left foot right
March in the daytime, march by night
Just like our fathers, theirs before
Everyone walks through the big black door
