Lyrics
A passing life each day, a carving on the wall

It's like a night without awakening

The truth is lost and maybe never to be found

Like the shadows of my pantomime

When all the world is gathered for the final feast

Will there be someone to believe in me?

Voices echoing in my distorted mind

Is this for real or just a dream?

(Am I losing my mind? I am not afraid, my dear)

[Chorus:] Sing for me angel of afterlife calming me down

Chaos inside my nebula

And make the wrong turn to right in a celestial light

Forgive my sacrimony

Tell me what they say that I'm supposed to know

Tell me every little detail

Make truth appear for me as distant memories

Like pictures on a silver screen

It all becomes clear

The truth will appear

Forever I'm there for you and sing.

[Chorus]

And now leave me alone

Erase my memory

Don't want to hear, don't want to see

Don't want to think about the lie that follows me

All becomes clear

But no one will hear my testimony

I am your angel of afterlife calming you down

Silence inside your nebula

And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light

I'll heed your testimony

[Chorus]

(Ring around a rosie,

A pocketful of posies,

Ashes, ashes

We all fall down)
