The Sorrow of Age

Walking in the shadows of our youth

Such tall shadows

And how cold

We shiver and shudder and realize the truth

Such barren truth

And how cruel

How pointless it is to wander and stare

At the heavens

The merciless heavens

Who dominate all with a calm, steady glare

Oh the heavens

The merciless heavens

We lay claim to the sorrows that wander down here

The sorrows of being

The sorrows of age

We are granted a sight both foggy and clear

We see the end

And the end is near.
