Immortal

I climbed the highest mountain to reach the icy dew
Slayed the mighty dragon, I did,
But it was only for you.

If I were to be immortal, here is where i'd stay
To stay with you means everything,
Never, I would stray.

But to be immortal means only one thing,
I would leave you behind,
Never to hear you sing.

If I had a choice, mortal would be it.
Why would I be different?
For you, this choice mightn't fit.
