Nothing lasts forever
Even mighty oaks begin to die
Nothing lasts forever
In defiance, though you may cry
The queen must leave her throne
And the king must cede his own
Into rivers, bridges do decay
As stone walls simply wash away
Nothing lasts forever
The greatest eagle must sleep
Nothing lasts forever
Even the young, Death can keep
Great skyscrapers will crash down
Throwing billowing dust around
Whole languages fade away
No more than symbols today
Nothing lasts forever
Even me, myself, and I
Nothing lasts forever
But we can live before we die
