Fellow man
Your whole life, like a sandglass
Will always be reversed
And will ever run out again
A long minute will elapse
(We'll always be reversed)
Until all those conditions
Out of which you were evolved
(We'll always be reversed)
Return in the wheel
Of the cosmic process
(We'll always be reversed)

And then you will find every pain and pleasure
Every friend and every enemy
Every hope and every goddamn error
Every blade of grass and every ray of light

Once more
And the whole fabric of things
Which make up your life
(Will always be reversed)
This ring in which you are but a grain
Will glitter afresh forever
(We'll always be reversed)
And then you will find every pain and pleasure
Every friend and every enemy
Every hope and every goddamn error
Every blade of grass and every ray of light

And in every one of these cycles
There will be one hour where
For the first time one man
And then many
Will perceive the mighty thought
Of the eternal recurrence of all things
And for mankind
This is always the hour of noon

(All over again)
And then you will find every pain and pleasure
(Start over again)
Every friend and every long-lost lover
(All over again)
Every hope and every goddamn error
(Start over again)
Every blade of grass and every ray of light

Start over again
All over again
Start over again
