Immortality is the ability to live forever, or put another way, it is an immunity from death. It is unknown whether human physical (material) immortality is an achievable condition —biological forms have inherent limitations which may or may not be able to be overcome through medical interventions or engineering. And even should human biological immortality be achieved, people could still continue to die from unforeseeable traumatic events.
In religious context, immortality is often stated to be among the promises by God (or other deities) to human beings who show goodness or else follow God's law (cf. resurrection). In this view, while the material human body dies, God is able to save the soul of the person, and for that soul crafts a new "spirit body" which is immortal (cf. Resurrection of the dead). According to this type of religious belief, human beings on Earth are already immortal in the spiritual sense —already guaranteed immortality —and the only obstacle to this immortality is sin. Moreover, only God is regarded as truly immortal, hence it is only through God's resources for resurrection and salvation that human beings may transcend death and live eternally.
The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived their first few years in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their musical careers. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey (born 20 April 1963) is an English author and theoretician in the field of gerontology, and the Chief Science Officer of the SENS Foundation. He is editor-in-chief of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research, author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and co-author of Ending Aging (2007). He is perhaps best known for his view that human beings could, in theory, live to lifespans far in excess of that which any authenticated cases have lived to today.
De Grey's research focuses on whether regenerative medicine can thwart the aging process. He works on the development of what he calls "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence" (SENS), a tissue-repair strategy intended to rejuvenate the human body and allow an indefinite lifespan. To this end, he has identified seven types of molecular and cellular damage caused by essential metabolic processes. SENS is a proposed panel of therapies designed to repair this damage.
De Grey is a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America, the American Aging Association, the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and an advisor to the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence. He has been interviewed in recent years in a number of news sources, including CBS 60 Minutes, the BBC, The New York Times, Fortune Magazine, The Washington Post, TED, Popular Science, The Colbert Report, Time, and the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe.
Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ, (French pronunciation: [selin djɔ̃] ( listen); born March 30, 1968), is a Canadian singer. Born to a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest. Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.
Michio Kaku (加来 道雄, Kaku Michio?, born January 24, 1947) is an American theoretical physicist, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York of City University of New York, a co-founder of string field theory, a futurist, and a "communicator" and "popularizer" of science. He has written several books about physics and related topics; he has made frequent appearances on radio, television, and film; and he writes extensive online blogs and articles. He has written two New York Times best sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011). He has hosted several TV specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery Channel, and the Science Channel.
Kaku was born in San Jose, California to Japanese immigrant parents. His grandfather came to the United States to take part in the clean-up operation after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake[citation needed]. His father was born in California but was educated in Japan and spoke little English. Both his parents were put in the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, where they met and where his two brothers were born.

Immortality
Vacate is the word, vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear, vessel stabbed next up volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun, immortality
As privileged as a whore, victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home and a wish to hold on to
But saw the trapdoor in the sun, immortality
I cannot stop the thought of runnin' in the dark
Comin' up a which way sign, all good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold, mom, auctioned forearm
And whispers in the sand
Truants move on, cannot stay long
Some die just to live
So this is who I am and this is all I know
And I must choose to live
For all that I can give
The spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand
For my dream if I can
A symbol of my faith in who I am
But I am so lonely
And I must follow on
The road that lies ahead
I won't let my heart control my head
I am so lonely
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
And I know what I've got to be
Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside
Fulfill your destiny
It's there within the child
My storm will never end, my fate is on the wind
The King of Hearts, the joker's wild
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
I'll make them all remember me
'Cause I have found a dream
That must come true
Every ounce of me must see it through
But I am so lonely
I'm sorry I don't have a role
For love to play
Hand over my heart, I'll find the way
I will make them give to me
Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I'll keep the memory of you and me inside
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
What else we may do
Vacate is a word
Vengeance has no place so near to her
Cannot find a comfort
In this world
Artificial tears
The vessel's stabbed
Next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home
And a will to hold on
There's a trapdoor in the sun
It's immortality
As privileged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks
Beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawls dissolved
Cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home
And a will to hold on to
There's a trapdoor in the sun
It's immortality
I cannot stop the thought
Running out the door
Coming up a which way sign
And all good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold, mom
And an auctioned forearm
And whiskers in the sink
A truant finds home
And a will to hold on to
Have I begun to doubt, my immortality?
Is that why, i’ve started to back out, wanna lock the door and throw the key?
Have I begun to doubt, my own ability…
To control and to get out? That’s what I’m askin me…
If i get over you, i know that i will last
better get over you, and make you part of my past
Gotta get over you,make sure to do it fast
Get Past
And cast
Your spell right back to you
Have I begun to doubt, my immortality?
Have I begun to doubt, that you’re the one to set me free
If i get over you, i know that i will last
better get over you, and make you part of my past
Gotta get over you,make sure to do it fast
Get Past
And cast
Dark side of innocence
Dragging me down
Thrown into this pit
I never reached the ground
Veiled ghosts of tomorrow
Echoes of the past
Coming back to haunt me
This feeling ever lasts
No sense of relief
I'm bound to burn
Respect is taken
Finding no solace in your words
Only words...
From tongues so forked they fall apart
The serpent in the grass
Slithers stealthly
Only reconfirms
This immortality
Immortality...
Alone within these walls I face my fear
Tempted throughout time to cut it clear
Venom in my veins
Am I still sane
Scarred and bleeding but still master of the game
We've no creed in the realms of fire where our mystic
souls
Have no limit of a mortal life in the world of filth
where we exist,
Arise and come I'll take you safe across the river
Styx.
Back to the filth, back to the light of Assyrian gods,
Praise them alive and praise them dead,
Risen Morning Stars!
Come and taste the blood of the Serpent just underneath
my skin,
Here the tongues of fire whisper about your destiny
million times,
Lost words behind those wounded-doe eyes,
I bow before the queen of lies, my hiding malice is
getting bolder,
Someday you'll receive our pain,
You caused us to cry tears of utter nothingness,
Sliding through a tunnel, destination unknown,
Lost words in eternity, a forbidden delight,
Come and taste the blood of the Serpent just underneath
my skin,
Here the tongues of fire whisper about your destiny
million times,
[solo: Adam the First Sinner]
Remove your blindfolds, now you want to breathe my
words,
Our eyes are dust, we share the blame,
Our pain is a doorway, we believe in nothing else,
In the shroud of my madness I'm freed and destroyed.
I'm ending the torment I stare upon the open skies,
Put me out of my misery, just slit my fucking throat!
Back to the filth, back to the light of Assyrian gods
Praise them alive and praise them dead
We are not immortal
We must find the key
The key to your heaven
This key will bring us immortality
We are not immortal
Find the key to your heavens
This key will bring us
Immortality
We have always knew
That you guided us in fight
You have helped us through
Life as the knife
We have always knew
You guided us through fight
You have helped us through
Life as the knife
When we are worried
Our souls will go to heaven
There we will feel our immortality
When we are worried
Our souls will go to heaven
Vacate is the word
vengeance has no place so near to her
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tears,
vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home
and a will to hold on, to
but theres a trapdoor in the sun,
immortality
As priviliged as a whore
victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneith the door
holier than though, how
surrendered, executed, anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home
and a will to hold on, to
but theres a trapdoor in the sun,
Immortality
I cannot stop the tought
running in the dark
coming up a which way sign
all good truants must decide
Stripped and sold mom
auctioned forearm
a trapdoor in the sun
truants move on
cannot stay long
The Preconception
Through the misunderstood paths of love
They'll be together as only one
A part of him to grow in her blood
Will give them immortality
The learning Stage
As information grabbers, we collect experience
That will be useful later, in our meaningful existence
We go from pain to laughter using physical expressions
Then we can cross the border in the fields of comprehension
We're going through phases across the ages
A part of the cycle to be immortal
First real steps
Our last parts to improve, give unexpected pleasures
Our first quest on the lose: seek undiscovered treasures
The outside stops growing, then the inside starts ticking
We need to find the only one to share our life forever
We're going through phases across the ages
From our learning stages Till we build our cages
A part of the cycle to be immortal
The Postconception
Through the misunderstood paths of life
We'll be together as only one
A part of me to grow in your womb
Will give us immortality
Cage Building
So much preparation for a life time expedition
Facing a goal with no specific reason
Anthology
Closer to the end, we think we have the answer
If life would never end the dream would last forever

It's no surprise to see just what I want to doCatch
every breath of you
Become part of you
I hear the darkness calling
I've come to steal the day
One taste of your sweet nectar, darling, and you will
feel free
Your naked skin and mine
Belonging, intertwined
Won't you let yourself go
Lay your hands right on mine
We'll fly away together
We'll make the stars collide
We'll be united for all time
If you would let me enter
You and I could live forever
Just let me take your hand and you will understand
We could leave this place forever
Nothing to fear again once I'm inside of you
Your heart is locked away inside a cage of ice
No doubt I'll be the man to find the one way in
If I could slip inside the thoughts inside your mind
Could I replace who left your heart behind?
So come inside my chamber
Let's make the night time alst
It's not a shame to cry
So let it all rain down
I want to let you in into the other side
Your heart is fading
Death is chasing after you
Run fast you fool it's catching up
Satan's tearing at your mind
He wants your soul and bones to grind
Life's no game, it's real as hell
You think your mask will hide it well
Don't let yourself fade away
For I will miss you every day...
You cannot destroy my soul
Your filthy lies won't make me cold
My heart will never fade away
You cannot destroy me
I have immortality
You cannot destroy
Can't you see you're slowly fading
In this frozen world you're dying
I can see fear within your eyes
In the night I hear your cfrying
Pain is devouring your soul
Lies will slowly make you cold
Life is ebbing from your bones
