Why must I lose everything I own?
Why must I lose all I have loved
All that I desire, all that I've known?
Time is relentless, dauntless
Like a fleeting moment, like a speck of dust
In a quick heartbeat, in a fleeting breath
Loss descends like darkness
Like the deep calm of death

But love declares a war on loss, on the inevitable
Asserts its arrogance, love shines its sword
Such valiance is what makes one stand
Without fear or dilemma, unguarded
Challenging death's aggressive blows

Yet again and again, life’s designs must fail
Yet there is a need so great, a longing so strong
Time's lesson unheeded, all defeats ignored
Love asserts its arrogance, love shines its sword
You're not real, death, you do not exist

Life asserts proudly, as death smirks on
Pride stands firm, love marches ahead
Knowing unknowingly, that all will be gone
That the tears evaporate
