Listen and Order your copy : “Cradle to the Grave“ is about the universal experience of navigating life’s ups and downs and the quest for meaning and purpose. It views the human condition as one of struggle and resilience, where despite efforts to build and achieve, there’s an underlying acceptance that life is brief, finite, and often cruel.

Linstruth, music by A.A. Lucassen Video directed, filmed & edited by Patric Ullaeus () LYRICS Cradle to the Grave Born brave, then enslaved we search for meaning, we cave So cold, the tale unfolds building our castles, just to watch them fall and this is your life We are born to dance in chains to a symphony of pain from cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die through the corridors of time we struggle and we strive from cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife Dark road, pay the toll No star to guide us, we walk alone Last stand, hand in hand Follow the sorrow to a fate unknown and this is your life As life’s pages slowly turn We live but never learn From cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die Promised dreams, all destroyed We walk into the void From cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife From cradle to the grave We are born to dance in chains From cradle to the grave Life’s a bitch, then you die From cradle to the grave to a symphony of pain From cradle to the grave March in time in a line on the edge of this knife #simonesimons #alissawhitegluz #ayreon
