Mortality

The reaper comes for us all, no exceptions made Sparing none, his scythe cuts down young and old alike Indifferent to our pleas, our tears, our desperate cries Death's cold embrace awaits, no matter how we try to hide In the silence of night, where fears collide Echoes of mortality, where destinies abide **[Chorus]** Oh, the finality of death, the great unknown Its shadow looms over us, a constant undertone No escape, no bargaining, no pleading for more time Mortality's harsh reminder, that we're not built to last, we'll all pay death's dime **[Verse 2]** We cling to life, deceiving ourselves it's forever But time marches on, relentless, leaving no room for endeavor Cherished memories fade, loved ones disappear from sight Death, the ultimate victor, strips away all that was once ours, our finite plight In the echoes of loss, where grief ignites A solemn dance with fate, where darkness invites **[Bridge]** Yet in its darkness, a glimmer of truth resides Death reminds us to live, to cherish each moment, to cast aside The trivial concerns that distract us from what really matters To love deeply, to laugh freely, before the reaper's call shatters Awakening us from the slumber of routine To embrace the fleeting beauty, in every scene **[Chorus]** Oh, the finality of death, the great unknown Its shadow looms over us, a constant undertone No escape, no bargaining, no pleading for more time Mortality's harsh reminder, that we're not built to last, we'll all pay death's dime **[Outro]** So let us face the reaper, with courage in our hearts Embrace the inevitability, for from it new life starts Death, the great equalizer, the one true constant we all must face Let it motivate us to live fully, leaving our unique mark on this place In the echo of eternity, where spirits embrace Finding solace in the journey, in death's embrace.
