The Day We'll Be Gone (Acoustic)

Closed, the eyes of the dead
Yet I can see you all black surrounding my old abode
Cry breaking the silence
Lament of a mourner washing pain away like rain

(Life) The day we'll be gone (the greatest of all lies)
A step into the unknown (the time to blink our eyes and we're gone)
Free from all fears (before we die, crave)
The peace of the earth (our immortality)
Finally back to the place we belong (as the memory resides in our name)
(And fill the hearts)

Lone my body rests
May the earth lie lightly upon my defenseless spoils
Void, epiphany of absence
Fading all my senses into the eternal night
Vacuum

(Time) The day we'll be gone (illusion of our mind)
The sleep of no return (the nemesis of the most foolish longing)
Where everything's clear (eternity is a fame)
Resounds in the words (when back to dust again)
The true epitaph (is inert)
That will live forever (and all that remains)
(It can be love or pain)
Afflicting the hearts (we inflicted on other men)
Infecting the souls (infernal torment lasts)
It's carved in the memories of our sons (for the ones we leave behind)
(Face) Face what we've become (oh, who we really are)
It shapes in the mirror (laid bare)
A man we don't know (before the highest judge)
(The memory)

(Shine)
(Before return to dust)
(Accept the finite nature of flesh)
(And carpe diem)
(Live each day if it's your last)
(Unburdened of paralyzing dreads, move past)
(As the master taught us)

Ο θάνατος ουδέν προς ημάς
Το γαρ διαλυθέν αναισθητεί
Το δ' αναισθητούν ουδέν προς εμάς

Cold, the hand of fate
Cruel, falls down relentless the curtain on passing flesh
Death, the close of existence
The mother of all fears and despair of mankind
Is nothing but life
