Ascension

We left life
So our Angels fly
We spread our wings
But do not die

We are not the Dead
We simply just ...
Left life instead

We will not die
Our spirits are young
We are the Elderly
Our song we've sung

'Fore our minds bathe in memories
In stories that are told
The memories are young
We are Old
