The person who lived my life before me, was no less of a coward than I am today.
Do you remember when I was young?
those years have passed like minutes
singing songs that are already sung,
the lyrics remain in ageless spirits

You praise my bravery for my scars
but hiding them won't heal them
wait till you see my many lost wars
I wrote this for you during mayhem

You say I've walked paths too long
but stopping now won't help me
wait till you see what I've done wrong
and bruises is all what you'll see

You who has lived this life before me
you who has been wronged much like me
look into my past and future, you'll see
there's no hope for both you and me

The stars will fall like stones
the sky will no longer share their moons
our bodies will walk without bones
the flowers will wilt before bloom.

When the mountains blow like dust
when plateaus rise to the sun in West
when the purest gold moistens to rust
that's when our bodies finally rest.

You who has loved in this life of mine,
write in constellations to me, a sign.
