Progeria : A tribute to John Tackett

Many of u may have heard of a disease called progeria which is briefly a premature agin. As a result, u can find a 10 year-old child looking physiologically like an 80 year-old person. Usually they die at the age of 15 maximum of cardiovascular diseases. The importance of this , is that the discovery of the etiology and characteristics of this disease, can be considered a big leap in the long researchers quest in figuring out the causes and the cure from cardiovascular disease and this will shed the light more on the processes of aging in general since it’s becoming a big issue. One of these guys is John Tackett who, despite all of his problems, was very happy and thankful for each second he was spending as if when something is rare, it becomes more valuable. He was also a very good drummer. He died exactly 2 years ago at the age of 15 but with a maturity of a 50 year-old guy. Anyway, this guy can be me, can be anyone, because life is short and we never have the time or the chance to do what we want to. We always run out of time.

Progeria Lyrics: Nobils Tobilis Music: Nobilis Tobilis

Life is too short, you don’t notice

As years faded ephemerally

Try to escape you won’t manage

Doomed to take part in this masquerade

We all fall like withered flowers

With fear and pain haunting our souls

There’s nobody here to share your grief

Cherish your days Carry your burden

He spent his lifetime almost content

Although the odds were all against him

Spreading hope and happiness

A morbid fate, is this all he gets

It’s so early to leave this world

And farewell this wonderful realm of mine

I’ve got so much more to show

you all What I am capableof

I’m ready for this bitter end

The moment where the drums will stop

To rhythm my o so perfect life

Mourn me this is what I demand
