You were gone when we found you
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
And we sang: "I don't know where we'll go from
From the alpha, omega, the beginning and the end"
And we all just idolize the dead

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between
You lived a life of which we all dreamed
Nothing and no one will ever take that away

And you had a love, and that love had you
And nothing mattered, you were fine
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of our path
And we sang: "I don't know where we go from
The anthem, the slogan, the summary of events."
And we all just idealize the past

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dreamed
Nothing and no one will ever take that away

Maybe all the times we had, they were not that bad
And everything else was part of the path
And we sang: "I don't know where we go from
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end."
And we all just idolize the dead–
Yeah the dead

And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again
