You Will Be Dead Forever

Even the casual clothes we wear to some young people do seem out of fashion
Our better years long in the past we have lost the youthful passion
For life that we had years ago though we have not lost our desire for to keep living
Since few ever have a wish to die though time is unforgiving

Every baby is born with a soul as a fountain for joy and laughter
Though none has come back post bodily death for to tell of a life hereafter
When Life's Reaper comes reaping your way by your God you too will be forsaken
And from the eternal sleep of death none ever does awaken

It is said that Jesus Christ the son of God whose name lives on in glory
Was crucified and rose from the dead and so many believe this story
Yet many of those who believe in a God harbor a morbid fear of dying
They may say they believe in God's Kingdom in the sky but their fear of death says they are lying

Time on our lives does tick away and leaves us looking and feeling older
With loss of hair and age wrinkles and pains of back and shoulder
Some of us become thin and frail with age and others grow old and fatter
And our material gains at life's journey end to us then will not matter

Though most of us retain the lust for living we have lost our youthful passion
And even the casual clothes we wear nowadays seem out of fashion
From your greatest gift the gift of life eventually death you will sever
So live for as long as you can live for you will be dead forever.
