No Life Is Eternal
No life is eternal
no one lives forever
nothing left to say we are all dead
no more living, so lets all start grieving
time is fading away
we don’t know about the afterlife
which makes us uncertain
how should we live our lives
how long will our souls carry on
it does not take long for our bodies to decay
does it bother you that were all wasting away
we are gone just dust floating in the air
so sad to leave this world behind
will your loved ones be safe after your gone
its all out of your hands
all you can do is watch from a far distance
a memory is all you are now
does that bother you
you live in the minds of others
but they really don’t understand
