Narrow Streets of Cobblestone

Our progress on a narrow road
Is patient with nowhere to go,
And though the earth quakes at our feet
(Just cobbled stone and not concrete)
The path we walk will never yield
Its treasures for our hands to steal.

Believe me now, you can not leave;
There is no stopping or reprieve,
No going back to times before
There's only forward, nothing more,
And though you twist your neck to see
There's nothing out there you can reach.

Now ev'ryone we know is dead;
The only path we knew to tread
Led us astray into the night
Can you imagine what that's like?
We only have a single way
And it's just leading to our graves.

Well still walk on, we'll soon be there
Beyond all time, beyond the years
Beyond the coming end you fear,
When even nothing's disappeared,
For there you'll see the one-way road
May have a better place to go.
