Nothing Lasts Forever Songtext
von Manticora

Once upon a time you were gonna live forever
But that was another fairytale, Dad

You warned me - oh, how you warned me
But how can you ever warn a person against something like that?

And I keep on pretending that it′s all okay
I'm okay now!
But we all know, it′s a lie, Dad

I prepared - how I prepared
But how can you prepare to see your own father die?

I remember when you explained
How the water rose on the beach
Explaining things to that innocent brain
Innocent brain

It seemed to me there was
Nowhere you couldn't reach
But this is now and with
The now comes the pain
Comes the pain


Fading smile
Disappearing smile
Why do lives wither
And fade away?

Fading smile
Disappearing smile
Daddy, I'm your little boy
And always will be

All I have left is this
Cold stone to touch
I′ve got to remember that
You′re not here anymore
Anymore

That nothing will ever be
Like it used to be before
I feel your spirit floating
Here all around
All around

Fading smile
Disappearing smile
Why do lives wither
And fade away?


Fading smile
Disappearing smile
Daddy, I'm your little boy
And always will be

I′m ok now, Dad
