If you want to stand on the top of the pile

You have to fight your way to be there - fight your way

And than fight to keep its pinnacle - 

Which are both just old, unwritten laws of the jungle.

.

The other one - the one that is written - is

That if you want to stand at the top -

O Fortuna - doesn’t matter who you are,

Eventually, you are going to fall.

.

.

Ascent and descent -

Fortune’s wheel turns - for

Absolution and perdition

Both ride in the same hearse.
