The body remains Songtext
von T.K. Bollinger

I cut a figure like none you′d seen
Now just the body remains
I lived with vigour, I lived with dignity
Now just the body remains

If I considered life would deliver
Such a terrible fate for me
Would I have ever still delivered
All the beauty I gave?
Once we were ignorant of time's consequence
Now we don′t have that grace
We learn many clever ways so we never
Have to face our mortality


I lost my vigour, I lost vitality
Now just the body remains
This sorry figure eats, shits and breathes
Just the body remains

You must consider I can't deliver
Now I don't have a voice
Your love, my dignity
Someone must speak for me
Since I don′t have a voice
It′s not that easy, life must hold dignity
But you must make a choice
More life or dignity? No choice comes easy
But I don't have a voice
