This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

-Jim Morrison
