‘last mile’: (from ‘The Green Mile’ by S. King) ‘death row’ in prison slang. Used as a metaphor. Or maybe not?
lyrics
Celebrate The End
Dust falls through palms
As time goes by
Darkened skies above
Laugh as we turn to stone
Instincts against values
They’re struggling when the rest is gone
The Jester and the Lizard
Feast as empires fall
The crux is eternity
Oblivion is key
Pale, grey faces
Take their last gaze at the bridge of fear
Twitching, meaningless
Stuck within reality
Feel the rhythm of the universe
Then fade away
Celebrate the end
While falling
Celebrate the end
Fall into dust
Awaiting the last mile
We'll walk it – heads held high!
The vessel of sorrow and a glass of wine
And the peace of mind
Duality of soul
Finally merges into one
Just a step into darkness
Embracing the unknown
Celebrate the end
While falling
Celebrate the end
Fall into dust
