Nothing puzzles me so much more
Than the shortlifeness of good things
The great heroes of yesterday
And to be found no more

Thanks for their good deeds
That bears the witness of their existence
Oh! Why do good things never last?!
Eureka!

What is the fate of a candle lit up in the wind?
It glows brightly but melts rapidly
Such is the life of men – the real men!
Good things never last

But my fellow men
It’s not how far but how well
I repeat, good things never last.

It is you that gives my life a meaning
Sometimes ago I thought it was all over with me
I thought my Eagle had landed on a wrong path
All hope seemed to have been lost
And there was no companion to turn to

Oh! I long for the inevitable quiet end
My life was just to be laid unto the cold hands of death
But just at the 11th hour you came to my rescue
Though dramatically
Yes it was dramatic but highly effective

And at the speed of light
My agony disappeared into the thin air
I never knew the siege could be over so soon
I never knew

Though I have ever since thought of a messiah of my soul
This I found in you
Once a rejected stone pillar of a house
Your feelings for me is divinely scheduled
Oh darling! It’s you that gives my life a meaning
‘tis no one else but you.

— The End —
