Cometh the day
For you and me
When each of us
Will turn to Ash
Such then our lives
Will be terminated
To leave this beautiful earth.
No one else is exempted.
This is what we feared of
This life will be drained of
Our smiles that glamour
Could be seen no more
The treasure we greed
Will all on earth be left.
We have a lot of things
Undone and undiscovered
There are lessons to teach.
And many dreams to reach
But when our time comes.
Our clock will no longer run.
We are then nothing at all.
But our mere self-made soul.
