Promise Me Immortality

How I’ve wished for life after death,
Feeling good after losing your health.
Promise me your loyalty,
Promise me Immortality.

Telling a lie every day you wake,
Have nothing someone could take,
Promise me your prosperity,
Promise me Immortality.

Adoring with your love, so pure
Every mistake you patiently endure
Promise me your amity,
Promise me Immortality.

Being immortal yourself, never to die,
There’s one thing I ask, no one other, but I
Promise me your energy,
Promise me Immortality.

Now the day of reckoning is upon us
Your promise you did keep, and thus
You promised me reliability,
You gave me your Immortality.
