When I Shall Cease to Be Lyrics

Seasons turning (ages passing by)
Everything's fading (everything must die)
For a thousand years (voices calling me)
Ever wondering (when I shall cease to be)
As human kind (is doomed to die)
I'm doomed to live (doomed to stay behind)
When nature dies (I will still be here)
I'm cursed to live (for whole eternity)

I wanna leave this hollow place
Disappear and leave no trace
I want the time to tick for me
To stop my heart and set me free
World that I knew (gone with the times so long ago)
And I was left (alone in sadness and in woe)
So many days (Too many cold and lonely nights)
So many years (far too many sad sights)

It grieves my heart (knowing I must stay)
While all the rest (will fade away)
Lay off the curse (and brake the everlasting spell)
Dissolve my flesh (let me leave this neverending hell)
I wanna leave this hollow place
Disappear and leave no trace
I want the time to tick for me
To stop my heart and set me free

"Lay off the curse
Brake the everlasting spell
Desolve my flesh
Let me leave this neverending hell"
