Tragic is the tale of love
love has gone from the earth
as brief and as fleeting as a dove
being shot and felled from its birth

Tragic is the tale of death
sung by the spirits long since past
calling on the wind as if on there last breath
sadly the one true love can not last

Tragic is the tale of anguish
screaming and clawing at us all
our bodies become languish
as our hopes and dreams fall

Tragic is the tale of life
the spirit in our body fleeting and brief
taken by the blade of a knife
a cold, desperate thief

Tragic is this tale of truth
long has it been overdue
long trapped under the guise of youth
at long last, life goes bye and bids you adieu
