lyrics

I can see all around me is madness
No more beauty to see
The dead live free, far away
So peacefully
And, what is left for me?

Death is nothing to fear
It’s a game of cards
That nobody wins
So play your hand and
Live life bravely
Each and every day
No one gets out alive

So! We drink to the end
The everlasting rest that we all so deserve
No more pain to endure
The only thing left is to end it all!

CHORUS:
Farewell the time has come to die
For all in a winter’s night
Death is the last great escape
For all who think they’re free of fate
And all the sacrifices made
They all begin to fade
Death is the last great escape
From all the terrors we must face
But I’m not afraid of death
For I have been dead all along
Love lost evermore
The end of my song

So death, take me into your arms for evermore

As I open my eyes in the darkness
Oh what beauty I see
The fallen heroes of the past
Here will ever last
We eternally rest

Life is nothing but pain
It’s a game of chance that nobody wins
So roll the dice and draw the final card
Learn this lesson hard
No one gets out alive

So! We drink to the end
The everlasting rest that we all so deserve
No more pain to endure
The only thing left is to end it all!

CHORUS

SOLOS

Sweet Death, I’m glad I found your warm embrace
Call the name of the man in the darkness
Heed the call of the night
And join me here in afterlife
Free from all the strife
Leave the pain all behind

Leaves, they fall from the trees
And the earth reclaims the souls from within
So follow me and
End life bravely, so unfaithfully
No one can stop you now

So! We drink to the end
The everlasting rest that we all so deserve
No more pain to endure
The only thing left is to end it all!

CHORUS

The starry skies hold a place for you
Ascend like you always yearned to
Death is the last great escape
From all pain
And I can see a star so bright!
Shining onwards forever!

SOLOS
