If someone gave you an option
To become an immortal being
Would you make that choice
Even if there's no freeing
To get to live forever
To never have to die
To never age a day
To never say goodbye
Days turn into monthes
They soon become a year
After that comes centuries
You're still alive and here
A gift or a curse
To watch the time fly by
The sun rises so many days
Stars shine in the night sky
You have plenty of time to make money
And visit the places you want to go
And buy anything that you want
Your bank will overflow
Watching how technology changes
Hearing big news from different times
Seeing buildings go down and get rebuilt
Tasting the newest wines
Your style of clothing would change
Your taste of music too
The prices of things could go up or down
You'll figure out a way to get through
The idea sounds like the perfect thing
But soon you'll change your mind
Being immortal is messing with time
And time itself won't be kind
Just because you don't have to die
Of never age again
Doesn't mean bad things never happen
You just don't know when
You can still get a little sick
Get a sprain and break a bone
Major things like cancer and plagues
Well those will leave you alone
While you don't have to say goodbye to this world
You still have to say goodbye
To people who start to get suspicious
There are rules that do apply
You can't stay in a place to long
Always be ready to run
There are always people after you
To find out how it's done
That is how you became immortal of course
They're bad and want to know how
Nothing would stop them from finding out
The hunters have made it their vow
The secret is dangerous in the wrong hands
The ability to not be killed
They'll torture you until the brink of death
Until they know the truth was spilled
Immortality has ups and downs
As do many things
Forever is a long long time
You'll have to see what it brings
Long, yes and boring too
But also thrilling and exciting
It's fascinating and a savior for some
So you can see why it sounds inviting
