Epica
The Final Lullaby
[Intro: Jørgen Munkeby]
Everything dies

[Verse 1: Simone Simons, Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who will be the one to destroy us all?
Mirror, mirror, can't you see?
It's written in the stars that it's you and me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Jørgen Munkeby]
They're gonna burn this world down to the ground
Guns are going off, can't hear a sound
Toxic in the air, I can hear you pray
Will you stay with me? Can you hear what I say?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
You said "Let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby

[Post-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
It is time
Don't you cry
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye
As the darkness comes down
The world ends and everything diеs
[Verse 2: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Do you think we can survive this all?
Mirror, mirror, can you hеar?
They're coming for us, it is what we feared

[Pre-Chorus 2: Jørgen Munkeby]
They're gonna tear this night up at the seams
Lies are all around, nothing's what it seems
Tear gas in the sky, I can't breathe
Will I see you again? Will you remember me?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby, Jørgen Munkeby]
You said "Let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
Now blood flows and fills the sky
The stars begin to fade
I hear you say "It's over now"
There's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby

[Post-Chorus: Jørgen Munkeby]
It is time
Don't you cry
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye
As the darkness comes down
The world ends and everything dies
[Bridge: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
You and I will find a way out here tonight

[Refrain: Jørgen Munkeby]
So here we are, hand in hand
(Everything dies)
Watching the world end
(And now everything dies)
The rain is pounding down on us from a broken sky
(Everything dies)
But we will live somehow
(And now)

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Jørgen Munkeby]
I hear you say "It's over now"
There's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby
Bye

[Outro]
It is time
Have no fear
It's the end
It is here
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye as it ends
And everything dies
