The Immortal
Ageless angel, immortal soul,
Fallen from heaven to earth,
No longer with a heart whole
For heaven forsook you at birth.
You watch the world go by,
The future turn into the past,
And heave a gentle sigh
When you’re the only thing that lasts.
Those who you once knew of
have now all faded away,
And those who you once loved,
Now live in decay.
You find your only comfort
amidst the shadows of night,
Shielding your tragic beauty
From the world’s harsh sight.
With ashes on your face
You repent your lasting sins
Trying to earn the grace
So heaven lets you in.
But still you suffer everyday,
Your never-ending life of hell,
Wishing it would go away,
This immortality spell.
