lyrics

When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?

Since the day we were born, we‘re afraid to die
our whole life becomes a tug of war, about the reason why
We prolong life in fear that we might miss it
and during the efforts we missed it
And forget all the things, we have here, in our hearts
So let‘s live our lifes, here and now, on this earth

Don‘t praise me, when I‘m lying in my grave
When I am dead, everything is already said
I miss her smile, I miss his laugh
miss her hands, miss his strength, her way to walk

Why don‘t you tell us, all these things just right now
When I am dead, I cannot hear
when I am dead, I feel no fear

When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?

I need you now, when I‘m alive.
I need you here, side by side

Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let it burn in every shade, let it shine, in our eyes
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let your life be a fulfilled one, never bow before your fears

Why we dream, why we try, why we feel, why we cry?
Why we dream to reincarnate,
when this life is not, worth to be?
Why we try growing older and older,
when dreams of death, sit on our shoulder?

Fiery whispers in the wall,
talking 'bout the reaper‘s call
possibilities of life after death
in your gods hall, where humans fall
we try to make ourselves believe there would be
something but instead nothing there at all.
Nothing at all, so breath ....

What would you really choose if you could do
ninety years of fear the death, or sixty full of joy.
I miss his words, I miss her warmth
miss his mood, when he was sad, her way to walk

Why flowing warm words just in our graves?
When I‘m dead, I cannot feel,
when I‘m dead, I cannot hear

When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?

I need this warmth, when I‘m alive,
I need it here, before I die

Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let it burn in every shade, let it shine, in our eyes
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let your life be a fulfilled one, never bow before your fears

Now I‘m dead, my grave is quiet
Now I‘m dead, no lights on fire
Now I‘m dead, I‘m really gone
remember me, I am your haunting ghost
