Forever
Forever is a long time
To forever live without the one you love
Forever sees all but is blind
To watch your love slowly die
What is death but life anew
To fly to places you can't conceive
What is life that cannot die
When living itself becomes the disease
When life becomes eternal there is no past
Your always first but yearn for last
A thousand years race by
Forever is fast and forever is shy
If you love your pain will grow
Until your life lives without it's soul
You've been peasant prince and supreme
You had it all and lust for nothing
The taste of food the fruits of wine
In feast or famine it's all benign
Treasures forgotten memories fade
The only thing certain is night and day
Dreams are woven into realities
What was is and what will be has been
Every seed you've spawn is a fatality
Truth is fragile but lies live long
You've prayed to a thousand gods
Hollow is your heart, void is your mind
Sleepless you have become
Forever is a long time
