Older

Reflections of an unfamiliar face
Staring through time and space
Caught in a truth I can't escape
Facing the years that slipped away
Though it's not too late
It's an accelerating race
No matter the pace
It's all leading to the grave
The past is over
Youth slipping under
Counterfeit authentic renderings
Haunt every corner of my brain
Feeding the beast I have to tame
Vanity's clutches on my name
'Cause I know some day
It's all gonna fade away
It's a losing game
Beauty cannot always reign
The past is over
Youth slipping under
Death is always waiting for her pay
And I surrender to my faith
One universal truth to embrace
I might not see the light of day
And it's not too late
Never waste a chance to celebrate
We shall play the game
Dance and sing to the flickering flame
Don't fear the reaper
Life taking over
