To sadness and death
The immortals are ignorant
As the price of mortality
In trading heaven for ashes
Could never appeal to them
     And learning the losses
Of temporal relations
And tragic emotions
In the most intimate of ways
      In the flesh of this world
Becoming deranged with heartache
Completely ruined by loss
      No one signs up for that
But it reveals a secret to life
To know everything ends
Gives us this present
These moments in time
How it all becomes precious
Is to know that it ends
And we ain't gonna like it
     What makes the immortals so jealous
Is that they have nothing to lose
No concept of heartache
No knowledge of loss
Without sadness or death
What could they possibly know about life?
