Living To Die

Life is a countdown
And the Devil's waiting for you,
Time is short and running out

Life is Darkness
Some shine brightly 
While others die out

A few are remembered,
And others are forgotten

'Cause nothing is constant on this earth,
And you die Moments after birth 

These Moments are to cherish,
But you'll not get everything you wish,

'Cause the earth's not your aim
And Death is the name of the Game.

It is ironic how most of us call this game "life", some mistakenly, others because they don't want to assimilate the reality they must face, but you..you are not scared of this, you know and call it the way it is.
