Everyman/Bridges We Burn

This is a song I wrote that is loosely inspired by the Morality Play of "Everyman."
Lyrics:
Minutes, they fade into hours and days
Then, weeks into months, through the calendar pages
The clock ticks away for every new generation of slaves

Youth must decay per the rules of engagement
While innocence wains from life’s bitter arrangement
Beauty will fade, as our health slowly withers away

Everyman’s fate always ends in the grave
Where wealth, friend, and family no longer can save him
And what he deserved be far less than he’s “earned”
The bridges he’s burned

The rats run amok without conscience and such
They don’t give a fuck when they’re down on their luck
They beg and they plead, wanting more than they need
Consumed by their greed

Minutes, they fade into hours and days
Then, weeks into months, through the calendar pages
The clock ticks away for every new generation of slaves
