"The Burial Of The Dead" lyrics

"The Burial Of The Dead"

I've been living like a shadow
Disappearing with the sun
My life has always been a struggle
I know I'm not the only one

I never got to say goodbye, it's like you're still alive
I hear your voice at night sometimes but it's only in my mind

We only have so much time left
You never know when you'll take your last breath

What happens when the curtain closes?
Will I see you in the wings?
Will we walk out of the exit
As the siren starts to sing?

I never got to say goodbye, it's like you're still alive
I send smoke into the atmosphere in hopes you'll see the sign
(Love your children like a fire, be their sacred oxygen)

We only have so much time left

We only have so much time left
You never know when you'll take your last breath
We only have so much time left
