Bondage

Why am I clinging to life, Ohh God,

Why am I clinging to life?

Whole world is going to die, but still,

Why am I clinging to life?

Cities will come and go, and

Empires will rise and fall.

Planets will break into pieces, but still,

Why am I clinging to life?

My life is going to end, and,

The beauty will also end.

My wealth and power will end,

The virtue will also end.

All Saints are going to die, and,

The Sinners will also do.

All Kings will die for sure, and,

The Beggars will also do.

Men I saw dying around, but

Still I think I will not.

We all are going to die, but

Still I am clinging to life.
