Man is Mortal

[Intro]
How long can a man survive?
Seventy years? Maybe eighty… maybe a hundred?
But man is mortal.
And that is fact.

[Verse 1]
Some will labor and still stay poor,
Some do nothing and still own more.
Some chase love and sometimes find,
Some hate the world and their own mind.

[Chorus]
But man is mortal, that is fact,
No crown, no power, no one lasts.
You climb the mountains, you touch the flame,
But time will end us all the same.

[Verse 2]
Some hold total power, and drive the crowd to war,
Some face the storm, yet always crave for more.
Some build up cities from ashes and sand,
Some write laws — one law for all to stand.

[Chorus]
But man is mortal, that is fact,
Kings and prophets fade to black.
Into silence all must go,
What comes after — we’ll never know.

[Bridge]
We reach for the stars,
We dream of life,
We pray to God,
We fight for truth…

[Final Chorus]
Yes, man is mortal, that is fact,
All our empires break and crack.
We love, we fight, we strive for skies,
But no one knows what waits when we die.

[Outro]
Man is mortal…
And that is fact.
