Opening eyes on a new world
Discovering fear and insecurity
Discovering a beauty so fragile
Getting older from your first breath and dying at your last
We spend our lives looking back everything amidst us
Looking in a fog of illusion on a badly chosen beauty
Despite every scream, cry and joy
Barely trying to live each second hoping to forget nothing
Come on reaper, I’m waiting for you
After leaving my mark and seeing my life scroll by
I got older all my life to look at a translucent past
Cleared by hatred, love and impulsive decisions
On my deathbed, surrounded by loved ones
I’ll shed a tear full of memories
Of those anybody would want to live one last time
One last time before closing the light forever
The only promise I dare do is to never forget
Never forget every face
Never forget every moment
Come on reaper, I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for my last breath
Come on reaper, come tuck me and sing my last lullaby
