My Dying Words

t'was never about only now
Whether or not we can see it come around
Always seems to point to something stronger, yeah
A future we may never see
It never changes a single thing
Doesn’t matter if it all gets harder, no
Burning hot like a flame
Against the wind against the rain
In life, in death, never fading away, no
The tide gets high
The seconds slip
The hours on the clock say tick
It doesn’t matter in the end, no one can take it away
You´ll never defeat me
You´ll never replace me
You´ll never meet someone like me again
These are my dying words
You´ll never defeat me
You´ll never appease me
Please take my word for this, you know
These are my dying words
Some will come and try to take
Try to burn and try to break
My spirit costs more than your life, yeah
They can try to no avail
They may hate, but we will prevail
We may pass, but we´ll never give in, no
Outnumbered, it doesn’t matter
A gang of fools, just empty chatter
They don’t know a thing about it all, no
Dragged down, not down and out
Looking to something than just right now
They may try, but they will never break us down
No
hold me now
I´m falling down
And I don´t know if I´ll resurface
but if somehow
you could allow
a trail that´s more than mere lip service
You´ll never defeat me
You´ll never replace me
You´ll never meet someone like me again
These are my dying words
You´ll never defeat me
You´ll never appease me
Please take my word for this, you know
These are my dying words

Together, We're Alone

There´s nothing to see
just another day on my own
Say, wouldn´t you agree?
that I´m better off alone
Yet sometimes I dream
of a gentle hands caress
a mutual esteem
Yes, I may as well confess
Days disappear
without meaning, or a trace
I persevere
not seeing a single face
Except for that one
yes I see her/him in the hall
second to none
He/ whatever befall
How will you ever?
see my shadow in vain
I´m thinking never
yet I long for you again
though you´ve led my mind astray
Please believe me when I say
For forever and a day
I love you...
As time goes by
I see life wither away
Outside a blue sky
My room is dismal and grey
But when he appears
my heart misses the beat
the taste of my tears
suddenly turn bittersweet
How will you ever?
see my shadow in vain
I´m thinking never
yet I long for you again
though you´ve led my mind astray
Please believe me when I say
For forever and a day
I love you...
