Cursed Mortality

All these years that now have passed
Seasons came and seasons went
In solitude I dream of days
From a life in the past

Will I be remembered?
When my time finally comes
A thought many have questioned
In their time beneath the sun

And when death takes me
Will I accept the end I am to receive?
Will I feel fulfilled?
Or bear resentment for the choices I have made?

Oh, this cursed mortality

Will I be remembered?
When my time finally comes
A thought many have questioned
In their time beneath the sun

The hourglass runs out
Life fading
My days are spent
Reminiscing

Time waits for no one
We are powerless
When we try to resist
This cursed mortality

My strength will fade
And these aching bones will break
I must acknowledge my end
In the face of death

The hourglass runs out
Life fading
My days are spent
Reminiscing

I am in denial
Soon comes the endless night
Shrouded in mystery
Nothingness unfolds on me

The sun now sets on this frail old man
