When You're Gone Lyrics

So tell it as it is

Enough with all your stories

I'll look right in eyes

And stare in the abyss

A product of your time

Blinded by the glory

Competing at the worst of times

In a tournament of clowns

So what if you forget

The urge to be remembered

You'll feel it if it hurts

It only lasts a while

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

You'll die a second time

Gone and then forgotten

It'll only been one hundred years

'Till no one speaks your name

And you're family moves on

You're flesh gets burned or rotten

Oh why are we alive again?

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

Who'll remember when you're gone

So why are you afraid

To live a life worth living

It'll only be one hundred years
