Time Shall Betray Us All


Time shall betray us all some day
and long before we're in our graves.
Deceptive from the day we're born,
she soon attacks the flesh she craves.

Our youthful bodies cherished, but
Time shall betray us all some day.
Too soon we're bald and heavier.
She gives us pounds, takes hair away.

We'll join a gym to keep in shape,
to tone our muscles, hone the waist.
Time shall betray us all some day.
Our faith in workouts all misplaced.

And Time's sadistic, very cruel.
Our joints and bones become her prey;
and often memories are robbed.
Time shall betray us all some day.
