Valar Morghulis

 Valar Morghulis, that is what she said to me

Our love was eternity yet you stripped

The cloak of immortality

You see,our love was never meant to die

But all men must die and return

Back to their creator in dust

As he sits on the heavenly throne

Watching you atone for your deeds


Our love knew no boundaries

So where from this border?

At this same busy bus stop 

I booked your flight

Our speeding train became static 

And moved nowhere

A destination so unknown yet very familiar

In the abyss of every broken heart

If everything that has a beginning

Has an end, then there are no immortals

So I scream in my deepest silence


Valar Morghulis, Valar Morghulis

Is there something you can't ever take?

You make love an endless voyage

Because it is a course no man can undertake

A distance no man can overtake

Yet we all endeavour and end up with a heart to devour

Because love these days is a game

You can never win without money and fame
