Winds roar and waves crash

The taxman comes demanding cash

while outside armies clash

and a stone rests in my yard

winters come and go

on the horizion stands a new foe

and now his weapons metal they throw

but that stone stays still

seasons change as they have before

as do my house and door

the sky's now filled with glass and steel

but that stone remains forever real

then along come the men of greed

with rules they make but never heed

now thanks to them I've lost my steed

and all I have left is that stone and mead

then come more armies

who claim I have to pay

for the greed of those fools

who have long since run away

but that stone still does stay

all alone in my yard

then come the floods

because the ice has melt

now all we've left to do

is play the hand we’re dealt

but that stone's still in my yard

my house is gone now

and so am I

thanks to some paranoid

who let the first nuke fly

and now that stone

is alone

in my yard

and on that stone

engraved there still

are these few words

that I've tried to fulfill

"No one lives forever,

That doesnt mean you shouldn't try

just remember this rule of life

sooner or later we all die.

so live life like it's about to end

but don't ever give up on your family and friends

today is the day that might be your last

but tomorrow may be a blast

so swear on this stone

that you'll be fair to all

and your life will be worth it

come one and come all"

and every morning I'd get up

and on that stone I'd swear

that no matter who or why

I'd treat everyone fair.

so now I lay here dying

the last man on earth

its been a heck of a ride

ever since my birth

if there's one thing that I aught to say

before I leave in peace

never hold a grudge

and with kindness treat all beasts

for if you do not

and begin to act like them

your soul begins to rot

and that begins your end.
