Artist: swans
Song: the big sleep
Sometimes when I think about it, it doesn't make any sense
I mean I'm alive and plan to be for another seventy years
Time waits for no one
Not even for god
We're only immortal for a limited time
Someone said that we were only born to die
Someone said there is a meaning with it all
I love the world and I barely believe that I will leave it for one good day
Someone said my religion is the way
Someone said don't try to say that you are not afraid
No
I refuse to let the angels take me away
I have already learned what heaven and hell is about
The big sleep is the only thing that is for sure and we're all gonna face
it
It's something we have to endure
Dreamers say that time will come with a way to stay alive
They mean science will finally reach its goal and offer everlasting life
I love my life and it's so hard to hear that one day all I will disappear
I have seen grief and what it does to you
The day will come when I will lose what I was made of
I try to imagine what that would be like but the thought is so unreal so it
is filtered out
I'm so afraid that I won't have the chance to tell the ones I love how I
feel inside
I hide my emotions for far too long
I'm so afraid too lose you and all that's the essence of this song
Am I the only one to think that hell is to be left alone
To live without that special someone
To feel like the king that lost his throne
Have you ever seen the dying
Touched the fading one
The last time I saw the queen of nostalgia she was basically already gone
Time waits for no one
Not even for heroes
Life will have its way and we have to follow
Someone said it might be true what they say
Someone said I will be able to freeze the frame of what you are today
I have no wish to be young forever
I just don't wanna die
Someone said you're souls will live again
I say the only one that I wanna be is me
