I would rather live to be old and die as one of the unsung
Than be remembered forever as one of the young
Who was not allowed for to grow old and gray
When he died under gunfire from home far away
And though good things about him are written and said
All praises fall deaf on the ears of the dead
The longest lived person does not have a long span
And life is short enough for any woman or man
So live for as long as you can live I would rather die old
Than as a young hero with my life story told
Since the breath of life from them forever has gone
It won't matter to the dead if their fame lives on
Since death is forever and life it is great
Live for as long as you can live the reaper can wait.
