Inspired by the book The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho
Lying in my coffin
Placed on the bier
Screws have been turned
Heavily, wearily, wish I could move
Family, friends surround me
Gathered to say good bye
Feel the sadness, feel the sorrow
Heavily, wearily, wish I could move
Wife is sobbing there
Unable to speak
Unable to move
Heavily, wearily, wish I could move
A prayer has now started
Voices fill the chapel
Fragrance of the flowers
Disgusts me and drives me crazy
Friend's empty faces,
They came in now to grab me
Echoing steps around
It disgusts me and drives me crazy
But I am alive!
Can't you hear my scream?
Please honey help me!
Don't you hear me?
Feel my coffin is moving
Taken to my grave
It is the last march
Darkness ahead and sadness behind
I lead the crowd
Walking steps around
Lowered lonely heads
Darkness ahead and sadness behind
(Quo vadis Domine?)
But I am alive!
Can't you hear my scream?
Please father, help me, help me!
Don't you hear me?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sensing everything, help me!
Free! Death Brother, I am free!
Thank you, I owe you, Brother Death
Saw the day of my death
And I 'm not afraid of anyone
Quo vadis, Domine?
Quo vadis, Domine?
Quo vadis, Domine?
Quo vadis, Domine?
They put him to the grave
Someone says some great words about him
Most of them are crying
They start to put the flowers to the grave
I smell them all around me
Teardrops're falling on his coffin
Their shovels are filling in the grave
Everything is dark, so dark
The footsteps are fading as the sobs as well
No noise coming from above anymore
I'm alone, hear the worms getting closer
Eating me alive
Deadly silence... is here and now
But I am alive!
Can't you hear my scream?
Please mother, help me, help me!
Don't you hear me?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sensing everything: I am alive!
Free! Death Brother I am free!
Thank you, I owe you, Brother Death.
Saw the day of my death
And I 'm not afraid of anyone
