[Verse 1]
To forget the law of constant change
Is like swimming against the tide
All passes, nothing remains
Yet our identity fictions abide
Here we're unable to move
Drowned in a maelstrom of pretense
Here Zeno’s turtle proves
That stillness is not a lasting defense

[Verse 2]
Although we've set an internal order
To which we try to subdue others
Our Parcae are still blind
And they claim no sire but the endless night

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Far upstream, the source takes shape
In a dream or an escape

[Chorus]
Sometimes a narrow, meandering maze
Finally widening to embrace
The horizon as a whole
Calm and warmed by the sun's gleam
Then turning to a rushing stream
Ending in a waterfall
[Verse 2]
We see attributes and their exact inverse
Rivers are called by many names
Even if their natures seem to be diverse
Water remains to stay the same

[Verse 3]
Gently, but without a moment’s respite
Drawn by the flow of time
Drop by drop, it all becomes a part
Of a future fully unknown
There's a before to everything
But nothing like a beginning
Going further onward
Is merging more with the great course

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Soon downstream, in the watershed
All the rivers will coalesce

[Chorus]
Sometimes a narrow, meandering maze
Finally widening to embrace
The horizon as a whole
Calm and warmed by the sun's gleam
Then turning to a rushing stream
Ending in a waterfall
