Reality Check lyrics

Entities' stealth comes to me

Those faces are no longer clear

Names lost in an epochal blur

Days flowing out like sands

And the hourglass empties grey

Faded relics of yonder days

Times as if but fantasies

Some wonderously marvelous

Others errantly disastreous

All seem yesterday, so many

They bring on a solitary chill

Realization of mortal bounds

Obituarial ledgers proclaim it

Reconciliation of then and now

Its benefits, its cumulative cost

Prospective for a life's span

Realizing feats and defeats

Twists ands turns along the way

Destiny's changes atoning

Moments of a reality check
