Lyrics

Tell me not, in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream! -
For the soul is dead that slumbers
And the things are not same what they seem

Life is real, life is earnest!
And the grave is not it's goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest;
Was not spoken of the penetrator!
Penetrator... ..

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow
Is our destined end of way-ay-ay;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day-ay-ay

Art is long, and time is fleeting
Our hearts, though stout and brave
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the penetrator!
Penetrator... ..

Footprints, that perhaps another
Sailing other life's and solemn main
Forlorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take the heart again

Let us, then, be up and doing
With a heart for any fa-a-ate
Still achieving, still pursuing
Learn to favor waiting penetrator!
Penetrator... ..

Tell me not, in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream! -
For the soul is dead that slumbers
And the things are not same what they seem

Life is real, life is earnest!
And the grave is not it's goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest;
Was not spoken of the penetrator!
Penetrator... ..
