Cheating Death (Inspired by the new novel I'm writing)
He’s the man who’s lived forever
The man who never died
No-one knows the price he’s paid
Or the many tears he’s cried
Living oh so many lifetimes
The mind can’t comprehend
If he still remains sane
Living life without an end
Can you blame his surliness
On a lifetimes filled with pain
How would you cope with loneliness
In a world of unending rain
Bow your head and shed a tear
For the man who cheated death
He has died a million times
But he still draws his breath
Though he wishes he could die
In the silence of the lonely night
If you listen you can hear him cry
