L I V E in reverse

It all starts to make sense

The more you think of it

The more it loses its appeal

Grey is taking over, strength ticks away

Life seems faster but you’re getting slower.

What they told you is wrong open doors

"Live freely" they said,

while steering you into a dead end

Riches can ease the pain

All you need is to L I V E in reverse.

There lies the answer

It was there all along

No need to wonder why some make it

Start from the very end

The last in line will lead the parade.

Actions speak louder than words

L I V E is a beast of its own

Go backwards, open the door

Dare to be in control.

Spell the word

Backwards we go

It makes sense when you reach the end

No more lies

Open your eyes.
