Before the End, Before the Beginning

Cheated death for 200 years,

I had built this time machine

Even then it was a mean hassle

A prison to cage the free

But couldn’t let go, I’m not one to die

Bring on a war

I’m would fight to survive

So I thought about for a bit

And hid when death called

Running away

Off a cliff

Hoping to cushion my fall

And it was there that I saw two massive Golden doors

Wide open,

Still too far.

Running and running till I’m out of breath

I had found a way to cheat this death

I pulled through, pulled through at last

And there I was

An inch away

Forever had I dreamed this day

Stepped inside

Stepped away

Some feeling strange had settled in

I called, I screeched

For the man in the cloak

To pull me away

From the city of life

Time for a shift

Though I had some really nice times

Looked around one last time

My face bright with a studded smile

As it was then that I knew

I had been what a fool

Who truly ever dies?

If they have memories have been left behind

The golden doors weren’t an immortal realm

They were the path to remind me of this, once again.
