Oh, immortal life

Oh, immortal life!
The treasures you promise
Tarnish once they're
Bought and paid for.

Oh, immortal life!
Your false promises
Are only evident after
They've been accepted.

Oh, immortal life!
Unknowing hopefuls
Watch loved ones dying
Before their ageless eyes.

Oh, immortal life!
You hold the chance
To rule the world
Before us like a carrot.

Oh, immortal life!
I fear my mind
Will snap long before
My body turns to dust.

Oh, immortal life!
I pray for final darkness
But I'm haunted by
never ending light.
