The dust that settled in the eyes Has covered a thousand lies Like maggots ate the brain And time is moving rapidly For those who are to see A paradigma changed
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed (keep on falling) While the spiders crawl out of your bed (I see them crawling) And the raven sings songs for the dead (sing your songs for the dead) Wake the nightmares in my head
Like me there were more that have tried To set a few things right To take the dreamers hand Their world is falling from the stars They start a thousand wars It's coming to an end
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed (keep on falling) While the spiders crawl out of your bed (I see them crawling) And the raven sings songs for the dead (sing your songs for the dead) Wake the nightmares in my head
Never swallow what you've heared before Don't believe in what you see It won't stay like it appears no more If you don't awake in time You never will again
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed (keep on falling) While the spiders crawl out of your bed (I see them crawling) And the raven sings songs for the dead (sing your songs for the dead) Wake the nightmares in my head
[Part II]
Oh, Angel, come and talk to me Oh, Angel, have mercy with me Maybe this is the time for wonders Maybe it's the time to set me free
When death is on it's way When death is on it's way
Oh, father, tell me what shall be Oh, father, what am I to see Is it now that I have to let go Is it now the time to set me free
When death is on it's way When death is on it's way
Oh, mother, I don't want to sigh Oh, mother, I don't want to die Tell me why does it have to be so Hard to let go when it?s your final day
When death is on it's way When death is on it's way
We talk about so many things, in fact we tell us nothing We hear about so many stuff that's wasted in our ears Our days are filled with everything that never brings us futher But when it comes to say goodbye we're helpless, drowning in tears
If we don't remember this in our lifes we'll forget the day Then we're not prepared to find the truth that helps us face the final day
When death is on it's way When death is on it's way
Our time is sometimes not so long, our days, they maybe counted We often build our castles on the sand of make believe I've seen it when I sat beside your bed and held your hand, that Trembled of the pain when you fought your very last fight
If I don't remember this I don't remember anything Something's there that gave the strengths that's stronger than the threshold of our pain
When death is on it's way When death is on it's way
Once at the gates of eternity it might be better if the heart is free I reach out my hands to reality of life and it's far beyond all images
