Life Was Made For Dying

Kings were made for ruling;

But you never thought you could.

Dreams were made for dreaming;

But a dragon took yours to the grave.

Promises were made for keeping;

But you break yours everyday.

Faith was made for hoping;

But yours faded into gray.

Hearts were made for loving;

But yours is hard and cold.

Tears were made for crying;

But yours have run dry.

Wings were made for flying;

But you let yours rot away.

Life was made for dying;

But you have to live it just the same.
