Chapter II. “It All Catches Up on You When You Slow Down”: Dedication Songtext
von Pain of Salvation

I watched you die
Though you had always been there
Since I first came into this world
Outside people smile
I ask, why this deep blue sky?
When you have left this world today
Does it not know when to weep?


All my life I′ve looked up to you
A humble old man who always knew
No one can ever be closer to God than you
So who could fill this void, who?

I still can't believe that you are not around
That your warm voice won′t make another sound
Sure I understand, but I never will accept
That you should be gone

I watched you die
And I have feared this moment
Since I was just a child
So why that sunny sky?
When my beloved grandfather
Lies dead here cold and still?
