The Moon Is Down
Further Seems Forever Lyrics

The moon is down
The environment is dark and uncertain, lending an air of mystery to our current predicament.

And heaven is waiting
There is hope or possibility for salvation, but it is up to us to reach out and grasp it.

For us to find her in our sites
We must actively search and pursue this hope or salvation to attain it.

With focus that's strong
We need mental fortitude and clarity of purpose to achieve our goal.

But my strength keeps slipping
Despite our resolve, fatigue and hardship threaten our ability to persevere.

Now we're all the terminal cases
We are all affected by some existential crisis or affliction, and our fate is uncertain.

(We're all the terminal cases)
Reiteration of the previous line for emphasis.

But we're so determined to thrive
Despite our circumstances, we are committed to triumphing over adversity and surviving.

And those with defeat on their faces
People who have lost their conviction or hope are in danger of succumbing to despair.

(Those with defeat on their faces)
