Threnody - The Elder

See life pass you by
Your last hour growing nearer
Enjoyed all pleasures of life
trying to latch on

Desperately trying
trying to latch on
The elder want to grasp
The elder want to know

One foot in the grave
Pass on your wisdom
Made the choices and decisions
Desperately trying to latch on

See the world pass you by
Everything seems to fast
The elder want to grasp
The old surpassed by the young
