Elvenking
Not My Final Song
I am looking around, laid down in my coffin
See faces with tears in their eyes
But, hey, wasn't her?
And I see also the guy
Who used to hate me so much?

And I don't need mourning laments
To be sincere, you can kiss my ass
If you had to tell me something
I can not do nothing, now I'm dead and gone

I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear
I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear

Don't you think it's sardonic?
You're considered a great one
But no one has shaken your hand
I don't wanna end like Poe or Van Gogh
Not knowing what they'd have become
So listen (listen)
I don't want your tears when I'm gone
Please smile to me till I'm still fond
Call me a cynic, have passed all the limits
But now I'm here

I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear
I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear

This is not my final song
More words and notes are in my pocket
This is not my final song
There are more stories to tell

Life often offers unreal circumstances
A theatre of souls, a circus of dances
Everything does happen for a real reason
I surely don't know, I'm victim of treason
I'm victim of treason
This funeral march starts to be boring
This coffin is narrow, the suit is too sober
Pass me my hat and my broken guitar
And sing with me this final song bizarre, yeah
This final song bizarre, yeah
This final song bizarre

One, two
One, two, three, four

I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear
I'm singing proud my final song
Dedicated to the ones still living
I'm singing loud my final song
For the ones who have ears to hear

This is not my final song
More words and notes are in my pocket
This is not my final song
There are more stories to tell

This is not my final song
This is not my final song
This is not my final song
This is not my final song
This is not my final song
This is not my final song
This is not my final
Hey, stop. Please stop the music, now
This funeral song already making me sick
Look at all those face; can't you see I'm more alive than you all
Cheer up everybody, this is not my final song!
