Awkward music misinterpretations, pt 1

Misinterpreting Time's cold wind, wailing down the past/Reminds us that all flesh is grass/And history's lamps blow out as Time's cold wind, wailing down the past/Reminds us that all flesh is grass/And every star winks out.

Makes the song less satisfying both to note that and then to note that the song doesn't note that, at least if you're the type of person who would probably experience equal distress to hear that all human life would be gone in 200 versus 2000 years. (No, fixing my scope insensitivity or time discounting or whatever this is on an emotional level is not a priority for me.)

I mean, I guess the song does note that suns grow cold but it overall seems to fail to account for meteorite impacts, light damage to things, the overall pointless of a never-seen monument, et cetera.
