Think of your lifetime as one day
It's fading away
The shadows are growing long
Think of existence as a flame, and death as rain
Storm clouds - there right along
At life's eve our flames will cease
Eternally, unavoidably
Eventually all paths will lead
To the cemetery
We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down
Unaware we are spinning around
Scattered fragments of time
Like blink of an eye we are
That's all we are
Think of your lifetime as one year
Look autumn is here
Getting colder, the winter's impending
Your conclusion's drawing near-certain, austere
Yes, only the circles unending
At life's eve our flames will cease
Eternally, unavoidably
Eventually, all paths will lead to the cemetery
To the prior deceased
We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down
Unaware we are spinning around
Scattered fragments of time
Like blink of an eye we are
That's all we are
Just when we realize that we are alive, we die

Everything is nothing to me, I couldn't care less
A stern cold man is what I am, hard, relentless
And thought I might have strayed the path I wouldn't change a thing
I've hated life to the fullest yet with longing deep within
For my name is sorrow and I'm a friend of misery
I deprived myself of love for eternal agony
And I don't even dare to try - I know I can only lose
Between this life I live and nothing I have to choose
Take me home...
...to the one I belong
I'll see you all go down and witness your demise
I'll be the last to close, the last to close my eyes
And forgive me nothing for I truly meant it all
- what I've said, what I've done
