To Be Immortal

Years passing by
The sands of time betraying
My bones petrify
And I feel myself decaying

The world wanders on
I will never see it all
So much left undone
Even if we're doomed to fall

Would you defy
The order of creation
Lose everyone you know
To death and stagnation?

To be immortal
I would build the tallest walls
Weave a tale to last forever
I would brave the siren's calls

To be immortal
There's no price that's too high
I would change the course of history
If I could never die!

Clock ticking on
As I stand by in the shadows
Moving my pawns
Felling villains, stars and heroes

Family to dust
Friends lost to the fire
Counted in the cost
Another child's pyre

Would you defy
The order of creation
Lose everyone you know
To death and stagnation?

To be immortal
I would build the tallest walls
Weave a tale to last forever
I would brave the siren's calls

To be immortal
There's no price that's too high
I would change the course of history
If I could never die!

To be immortal
Would drive a man insane
Watching all the things you love
Wash away in flooding rain

To be immortal
Is a curse of vanity
Who would dare to bear the burden
Past the end of humanity?
