about

Music: Phil Hodges
Lyrics: Michael Minkoff

lyrics

[Man]: We’ve been misled
by the first lie:
“Dying, you shall not die.”
So living, we’re all dead.

Look at your son.
Blow him a kiss.

[Sons]: “You’ve had so much to give to me.
I look just like you, Dad.”

[Woman]: Children all look just like their fathers
who look just like their fathers . . .
who act like children
who act just like their fathers
who act just like their fathers . . .
on down to Adam.

[Chorus with Woman]: Adam, in him, we all died.
In him, none are justified.
All of creation cries out in futility.
Children all die just like their fathers
who die just like their fathers
who died and like their fathers
turn into dust to dust to dust to dust . . .

[Man to Zak]: So close your eyes.
Drift off to sleep.
You taste your daily little death.
It lingers on your lips.
