Forever Is a Curse

[Verse 1]
In the hollow of a moonless night,
I hear the whispers of my endless plight.
Shadows crawl where the sunlight dies,
And I am bound where no soul flies.

I kissed the stars and drank the flame,
Promised forever, yet none remain.
Every friend I loved turned to dust,
Every vow I made betrayed my trust.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a thief with a jagged grin,
Stealing hearts I can’t reclaim again.

[Chorus]
Forever is a curse, not a gift,
A river of sorrow, a soul adrift.
I count the centuries, every tear,
Haunted by voices only I hear.
Forever is a curse, and I know,
Eternal life means eternal woe.

[Verse 2]
I’ve watched kingdoms rise and fall,
I’ve walked through echoes of every hall.
Faces I cherished, now dust in the wind,
Love I once held, where do I begin?

I built my dreams on shifting sand,
Watched them crumble, slipped through my hand.
Every joy became a thorn,
Every cradle turned forlorn.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time is a chain that will not break,
Every heartbeat a cruel mistake.

[Bridge]
I’ve wandered through the fire of kings,
Felt the weight of the crown of things.
I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve lied, I’ve bled,
I am alive, yet every part is dead.

If I could die, I’d beg the night,
To swallow me whole, end this endless fight.
But eternity laughs at my despair,
And leaves me trapped in this empty lair.

[Verse 3]
I hear the church bells calling the past,
Every chime a reminder that nothing lasts.
The roses I planted have withered to black,
And time itself will not give me back.

I’ve seen the world through sorrow’s lens,
Every beginning met with bitter ends.
The ghosts of my mistakes, they dance and leer,
Whispering secrets I’ve longed to hear.

[Outro]
So bury me not, for I cannot rest,
I am the shadow upon my own chest.
And when the world fades, as all things must,
I remain a ghost, chained by mistrust.

Forever is a curse, the night my friend,
An endless lament with no end.
