You trade your soul to live forever
And stay, imortally disgraced
You stand in righteous wingspread pose
In you mouth burns freedom’s elusive taste
But never will you fly
You stand through ages
Through empires and wars
But your life is just a lie
You stare with empty eyes
At an ever changing world
You sit in silent longing
For the universe to die
Never satisfied
Never to create
Never to destroy
Never, Never, Never
All your world is void
The iron’s strong
The wood is firm
The water cool
But you the fool
The drum beats
The fiddle sings
But no one envies
Your marble wings
Men will fall
Grow old and die
Empires crumble
Eons pass by
But the marble dove
Will never fly
