Everything Great Must Fade Away
Sometimes in the middle of a calm sea
A storm rages in the most violent way.
A hurricane begins in the peace
Death comes from the still of life
In the greatest times
In the most awful ways
Amazing things are torn away
Goodness and kindness are always replaced
With cruelty and hardship
With bleeding and shame
With darkness and rain
Everything great must fade away
