Everything Ends

Everything Ends
I had a conversation with a dying man
He said
'Son make sure you live while you still can
Thought I could write down the rules of war and
I could swim the seas'
He said
'Boy oh you know not what you have'

Now I lay on my bed waiting
Those words resound in my head
Well I remember he told me
'You'll see when everything ends'
I had a conversation with a dying man said
'Life passes by in the blink of an eye
The gold will rust, and empires will follow
Swallowed by the sea, do you sleep sound?
Well enjoy it while you can'
Now I lay on my bed waiting
Those words resound in my head
Well I remember he told me
'You'll see when everything ends'
Here I lie, falling asleep on my death bed
And I don't think they're worthless anymore
Now I lay on my bed waiting
Now I remember he told me
'You'll see when everything ends'
I had a conversation with a dying man, he said
'Son make sure you live while you still can'
