Finale

Album: Memento Mori

[verse]
My heart is old and tired
It's aching in my chest
I guess the time has come at last
I will take the final rest

A bright light that surrounds me
Comes from somewhere in the sky
I can hear some sounds and voices
That are coming from on high

[pre-chorus]
I feel no pain, I feel no sorrow
What's this thing I'm passing through?
I feel eager like a boy on
his first day at grade school

[chorus]
All the sorrows on my shoulders
Used to push me to the floor
They were hard and heavy boulders
Now they don't weigh me down, no more

Can't describe this strange sensation
All the ills seem to recede
Is it just my imagination?
Is it happening indeed?

[verse]
Oh, I must be only dreaming
I cannot believe it's true
But it all feels more surreal
Than any dream I ever knew

All the lights that float before me
In a fascinating dance
Warping, swirling all around me
Put me in a kind of trance

[pre-chorus]
Now I see familiar faces
They are all surrounding me
But I still can't recognize them
The light's too bright so I can't see

[chorus]
All the sorrows on my shoulders
Used to push me to the floor
They were hard and heavy boulders
Now they don't weigh me down, no more

Can't describe this strange sensation
All the ills seem to recede
Is it just my imagination?
Is it happening indeed?

[instrumental]

[verse]
Now the things are getting clearer
I can see my beloved wife
And my mother and my father
Many people from my life

My dear girl looks so pretty
Like the first time that we met
And her smile is so enchanting
Like no one I have seen yet

[pre-chorus]
She stands beside my bed
So I get up and hug her tight
I turn around, and see my body
With a last smile, still as night

[chorus]
All the sorrows on my shoulders
Used to push me to the floor
They were hard and heavy boulders
Now they don't weigh me down, no more

Can't describe this strange sensation
All the ills seem to recede
Is it just my imagination?
Is it happening indeed?

[outro]
Then I reach out for the hand
That I caressed in the past
And she guides me to my new home
And we'll be happy at last
