Live and Die on This Day - Helion Prime

4.5 billion years

Molding the perfect domain

Yet in the cosmic timeline

A few months the earth has remained

Seconds ago we arose as a race

What can we know of our destiny

Ancient giants of old

Last only days in the chain

Held on for millions of years

Still somehow they faded away

The truth that is staring us all in the face

Is knowledge that someday we too will die

Elements arose within a January storm

Spiraled in the spring time towards an avaricious hole

Solid rock and rubble battled gravity’s control

Through these eyes, we will see and know what it means

To live and die on this day

As a fleeting memory

So as we journey through the fray, though the fear remains

Open your mind

Look to the skies

Question this life

And rage towards the dying of the light

Summer solar systems merged and life began to frame

Autumn married light and water, carbon fueled the flame

Set the stage and wrote the rules for all who played the game

And in these winter days we’ll see and know what it means

To live and die on this day

As we mortals journey on

Lest we endure to stake our claim on our right to stay

Go now, live for the day

Don’t waste time, our lives won’t last the night

Your days though numbered are precious

And worth the fight, so hold on till the dawn

Within December days began the supersonic climb

Advance the mortal game and pass the grueling test of time

The final minutes of the year will catch us in our prime

What will the stroke of midnight bring

Does our fate remain

To live and die on this day

Evolutions failed design

So once more into the grey

We must fight to stay

Live and die on this day

Open your mind
