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
