Everything Must Perish

Front Line Assembly

Through the smoke I see the trees

No one left for us to please

A perfect world where no one dies

Go to heaven with your lies



Wasted and confused

I walk around with my shortened fuse

A fire burns inside my head

Is this living or am I dead?



In my dreams I see the end

A perfect circle never bends

As time and hope erode our fears

I close my eyes for one last tear



Tomorrow may never come

Mountains clash in the sun

The freezing snow starts to melt

A quiet moment to myself

Reflecting somewhere on the past

I hope this feeling will always last

In paradise we stand alone

Forgotten king without a throne

A bird takes flight, now out of sight

The sun catches its shadow



Come alive



Above in the air, there is no despair

We are waiting for the moment



A darkened shadow hides my face

I hope I won't forget this place

This burning sky that we call home

In the end we stand alone



Tomorrow may never come

Mountains clash in the sun

The freezing snow starts to melt

A quiet moment to myself

Reflecting somewhere on the past

I hope this feeling will always last

In paradise we stand alone

Forgotten king without a throne

A bird takes flight, now out of sight

The sun catches its shadow



Above in the air, there is no despair

We are waiting for the moment
