Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to know the truth
But nobody wants to hear it
Everybody has to face the end
But nobody wants to get near it
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants peace
But nobody wants to surrender
Everyone lives in the past
But nobody seems to remember
[Verse 3]
There is nothing as long as never
As everything burns it, grows cold
Everybody wants to live forever
But nobody wants to get old
[Verse 4]
Everybody wants to be forgiven
But nobody wants to confess
Everyone longs to hold on to a moment
That no one can ever possess
[Verse 5]
Everyone wants to be free
But no one can pay the price
Everyone wants to be heard
When no one has asked for advice
[Verse 6]
There is nothing as long as never
As everything burns it, grows cold
Everybody wants to live forever
But nobody wants to get old
[Verse 7]
Nobody knows the end of the story
We must wait for it to unfold
Everyone lives facing memento mori
But nobody wants to get old
Nobody wants to get old
