Lament

(Eva:)The choice was mine, and mine completelyI could have any prize that I desiredI could burn with the splendor of the brightest fireOr else, or else I could choose timeRemember I was very young thenAnd a year was forever and a daySo what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?I saw the lights, and I was on my wayAnd how I lived, how they shoneBut how soon the lights were gone(Che:)The choice was yours and noone else'sYou can cry for a body in despairHang your head because she is no longer thereTo shine, to dazzle, or betrayHow she lived, how she shoneBut how soon the lights were gone(Embalmers:)Eyes, hair, face, imageAll must be preservedStill life displayed forever
