Advance is Life's condition
The Grave but a Relay
Supposed to be a terminus
That makes it hated so --
The Tunnel is not lighted
Existence with a wall
Is better we consider
Than not exist at all --
Advance is Life's condition
The Grave but a Relay

That makes it hated so --
The Tunnel is not lighted
