Death Song Lyrics

Who's to tell your sorrow if your words just fail you and drift away?

In the newest magazine, the youth have eaten you and hate the taste

Time is catching up to you, life is short but the nights are very long

The bands your father used to play on rainy days are now all dead and gone

Oh who are you to ask for any more than you've been given?

Your days are just as long as all the king's and all the children's

And you feel that you've been cheated

But then life never made you any promises

Who's to know your soul after everything that binds you melts away?

Love may be the answer, but then, no one really asked you anyway

Who will hold your memory, and who has ears for stories that they tell?

Who will keep you company and pay the dues for virtues that you've held?

Oh who is death to spite you after all the love you've given?

No one else can comfort you and say you are forgiven

You feel that you've been cheated

But then life never made you any promises
