You
might die once a million times
You,
might not die at all
You,
could be one of the lucky guys with diamond eyes,
harder than steel, as old as I feel, but not as young
as you are.

So what will you do as the years flit by you with no
end of the end, what will you do as you watch and
send through the portals of doom those
who once shared a room with you?

If I knew now what I didn't know then,
that living's forever if you don't know how
to die,
I'd cry.

It's no use to this guy with the diamond eyes who wakes in the morning and knows all the lies and the truth of perpetual youth.
So it goes,
for some time goes fast for others it slows
some die once a million times and some don't die at all.
