Hello hello come gather round Birds of all kinds come listen closely I've grown so weak so I'll sing quietly But quiet's enough, isn't it
I'd give away my life for one glimpse of hope But since I can not I give myself to this song Let it start quiet and grow into a hymn Of everybody lost in despair
Fly, song of longing Fly away, grow stronger Let every voice join you Let there be thousands Thousands Let the whole world sing with you till the walls shudder
Hello hello you little bastards Pay some attention to my words while I'm here I'm dying, slowly fading away Look in my half-dead eyes, ain't I sexy?
I hereby deny existence of hope I almost forgot what's like to be not alone I only wish that my song lives on
O solitude To you I sing My last song
Let my last breath become A storm, a hurricane, a doomsday calling A wake-up call for every lonely soul Stand up and sing with me this song of longing And carry on without me when I'm gone
I want this song to fly Farther than any of you ever flew I want it worldwide For every skin color, in every language Please carry it far away Cause if it isn't you then Who's gonna tell my story when I die alone Who's gonna sing my song If it's not you If it's not you If it's not you
