We are all subjects to this curse This life we live in To live and die, is all we've ever known The dichotomy of living and non-existence So cruel, yet so beautiful Nobody wanted this to happen And the past is something we can't change As time moves on, with or without us The everlasting reminder that those most precious Will be stripped away, no matter what I say (No matter what I say) (There aren't enough words to describe this feeling) The truth in the absolution of death Is that I'll never see you again Once you depart, there is nothing I can do One day, I'll look back on this When the everlasting flame has extinguished And I can only hope that life has left you satisfied Your memory will give me the strength that I need to keep on living My life sentence in Hell won't prevent me From giving my all, for the ones who have fallen (There aren't enough words) I just hope I just hope it reaches you I just hope I just hope it reaches you I just hope it reaches you There's still so much left to say As you slowly slip away And now you'll never see the light of day The disease has ran it's course And things will never be the same But I thank you for the love you gave So please don't worry You gave me your strength And I'll be strong, once you're gone I'll be strong I'll be strong, once you're gone
