I gave and gave - gave all I had 
I took and took - all I could grab 
I had it all and I had none 
Now the game is over and it's all gone 

My heart is worn out to keep beating 
My lungs exhausted by all this breathing 
My mind's too tired to keep grieving 

I was against and I was for 
I wanted less and wanted more 
I won I lost, I lost and won 
Now it's all over and I am done 

My throat is too sore for more screaming 
My eyes too swollen for more weeping 
My wounds are too dry for more bleeding 
My blood too drained for more streaming 

My heart is slowing down 

Long short is life is short and long 
Strong weak am I am weak and strong 
My crop is ready for the Reaping 
My being ready for releasing 

My heart is slowing down
