I corrected the second line of the lyrics... it's not "Life may be swift and fleeting."

Actually he sings "Life may be swift as the evening". This establishes a poetic contrast with "the dawn" in the 4th line.

Listen carefully and you'll hear that that's what he sings; you can hear the break between "the" and "evening".
