That first one; is when your body lets go of thing we call a soul
When it leaves this plane and it goes where you feel it needs to go
And it stays there with all the freedom you imagine it will have
It will meet everyone you wanted, your soul will have a blast
And those who mourn you will have it rough at first
But time will help them cope, those first few days are just the worst
Then acceptance steps in and then life moves on
This cycle has been the cornerstone for humanity for so long
Some people try to go another way, and that’s ok
Now the fear of this second death is what drives some people
This is what pushes some to excel and others to create hell
It ushers some into greatness, for others it shows their weakness
They’re all overcome with greed to such a degree it messes with their sanity, it’s greed to make it into the annals of history
Those pages people go through when they refer to greatness
Some want to be a whole chapter, others just want to be a footnote
But all of them want the world to be a witness
To what it is that they do, and entry into notoriety is their hope
Their dream, their motivation, this fear is what drives them
Because nothing is scarier than that second death
When your soul breathes it last breath
When it dissipates into nothingness and there is only darkness
When the very energy that composes your soul runs thin
Yes I believe that this fear is a real thing
So run as hard as you can till you escape from the clutch of normality
Run till you run out of breath, keep running till your spirit’s empty
Fight against the coming of the night with all your might and let that fear shine a bright light on the path to your full potential
Let it be your children, let it be the words you’ve written
Let it be the work you’ve done, let it be the legacy you’ve made
Some believe its not how you live, but how you die
Others believe every moment counts and life should be an adventure
I believe you die twice and that second one is a lot scarier
