Slaves BC
nothing remains but death
Select language to translate this lyric
The light of my youth is fading from my eyes.
The sun grows dark as we sink nearer to the ground
My bones are bent.
My hands are twisted
Meat has lost its taste
wine has lost its warmth
I have watched the sun and moon dance across the sky It seems endlessly,
But they have danced before I came and they will continue for a time after I am gone.
My home crumbles around me
Those that I have known wait for me in the ground
Nothing I have done, owned, seen, or learned will add even a day to my life
I have done all there was to do Nothing remains but Death.
I've spent my life chasing at the wind always it slipped through my fingers
I've spent my life chasing at the wind and now I cannot catch even my breath.
