From the beginning you learned that we all have to die
You got so used to the fact that you don't wonder why
You don't ask:
How does it feel to someone when the moment has come
When all is taken away, an existence is gone, who'll be his guide
Take his soul and take his mind
And his opened eyes stay blind
Forever - you know there was someone inside
The smile on these lips don't seem right
Forever's a very long time
Forever - these cheeks growing colder and grey
A smile that is fading away
Forever a very long time
You know it happens a thousand times every day
You can't imagine you might be the next, you don't want to care
But lady luck is a bitch, won't stay at one place twice
Wipes a curl from your eye and kisses you goodbye, bye, bye...
Leaves you soul and leaves your mind
And your broken eyes stay blind
Forever - you know there was someone inside
The smile on these lips don't seem right
Forever's a very long time
Forever - these cheeks growing colder and grey
A smile that is fading away
Forever a very long time
So take good care of what you say
It might be coming back one day
So take good care of what you do
This chance might be the last for you
Forever - forever and ever, forever's a very long time
