Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A dream of another existence
You wish to die
A dream of another world
You pray for death
[Verse 2]
To release the soul one must die
To find peace inside you must get eternal
[Verse 3]
I am a mortal, but am I human?
How beautiful life is now when my time has come
A human destiny, but nothing human inside
What will be left of me when I'm dead?
There was nothing when I lived
[Verse 4]
What you found was eternal death
No one will ever miss you
