Endless songs of pain and woe;

I have sung to last a lifetime.

Sadness comes and happiness goes,

Lasting forever; ending never.

Trying times and time again,

I've tried to make it last.

But nothing stays, and we begin...

Once more, forever more, never more.

What might I lack? may I ask,

Expecting nothing in return for pain.

Living in twilight, bored unded a mask,

Everything comes and nothing goes...and I am left alone.
