If someone gave you an option
To become and immortal being
Would you take make that choice?
Even if there’s no freeing
To get to live forever
To never have to die
To never age a day
To never say goodbye
Days turn into months
They soon become a year
After that comes centuries
You’re still alive and here
A gift or a curse
To watch the time fly by
The sun rises so many days
Stars shine in the night sky
You have plenty of time to make money
Visit the places you want to go
Buy anything that you want
Your bank will overflow
Watching technology change
Living through violence and war
Tasting new foods from all around
You can live your life like never before
You style of clothing would change
Your taste of music too
You can do the most ridiculous things
You’ve got nothing better to do
The idea sounds like the perfect thing
But soon you’ll change your mind
Being immortal is messing with time
And time itself isn't kind
Just because you don’t have to die
Or never age again
Doesn’t mean bad things don’t happen
You still don't know when
You can still get sick
Get a sprain or break a bone
Major things like cancer and plagues
Well, those will leave you alone
While you don’t say goodbye to this world
You still have to say goodbye
To people who start to get suspicious
There are rules that do apply
You can’t stay in a place to long
Remember, be ready to run
There will always be people after you
To find out how it’s done
That is how you become immortal
They’re bad and want to know how
Nothing would stop them from finding out
The hunters have made it their vow
The secret is dangerous in wrong hands
The ability to not be killed
They’ll torture you until the brink of death
Until they know they truth was spilled
Immortality has its ups and downs
As do many things
Forever is a long long time
You’ll have to see what it brings
Long, yes and boring too
But also thrilling and exciting
It’s fascinating and a savior for some
So you can see why is sounds inviting
