lyrics

Seems like my chalice is empty
Apparantly, i drank it all the way
Some of the rocks, i carried almost a lifetime
This is the place i can put them down
Death will be both sadness and relief
It brings me sadness and relief

Things became too complex for me
Never thought i would reach this state of mind
But it’s time to make way, full of regrets
No chances left to make things right
All good and bad is said and done
It is said and done

I enjoyed freedom
To make choices
And experienced
The weight
Of the pressure
That comes with it
Pain i had to endure
Assuming one day
I would get rewarded
For it
Pain

Caught in a body
Caught in a skin
Caught in a culture
Caught in a sin

On the bank of the river styx
Looking over my left hand shoulder
Reviewing my living years
I behold the gap between
Childhood dreams
And the path i walked

Goodbye to all my beloved ones
I will think of you until they take my thoughts
Nothing i did was heroic
Nothing i did was in vain

Remember me for what i was
Remember me

Caught in a body
Caught in a skin
Caught in a culture
Caught in a sin

Through layers of mist
I can descry my ferryman
Soon i will stop being
Taking this one, last threshold
So to you i confide
My last thoughts

Goodbye to all my beloved ones
I will think of you untill they take my thoughts
Nothing i did was heroic
Nothing i did was in vain

Remember me for what i was
Remember me
