Mortal/Eternal from No Illusions by Die Young (TX)

Spawned upon "a mote of dust
Suspended in a sunbeam" 
Housed in flesh that blooms and decays 
With an intellect we deem separate 
From the guts of exploded stars 
And billions of other precious accidents, 
Those forms of life we don't understand 
We're more like them than we can admit 

Mortal/Eternal, all at once 
An evolution of gas and dust 
Given the chance to contemplate 
The pain of a world made not for us 

Born from a mother whose lot is to suffer 
The sins of the father unreconciled 
He slays his brother, over and over
Till the dying sun swallows the earth  

Nothing and something, all at once 
With inclinations to violence 
Given the chance to multiply 
The pain of a world made not for us 

Mortal/Eternal 
Tread like gods 
Mortal/Eternal 
Perish like parasites 

So you want to live forever? 
And so you shall… 
Your oxygen as ether 
Your carbon as dust
