Here we are, now lay the burden down

Sorrowful yet glorious somehow

To be humming this one last ode

So calm and still... it wasn't all that bad, or was it now?

Fulfilled... it doesn't only hurt to end it now

The memories beneath the dust of years

They seem like those of someone deceased

There's no more to be done or hoped or feared
Fm G
Just waiting for the final release
[Chorus]
Ab Cm Ab Cm
So calm and thrilled... it wasn't all that bad, or was it now?

Still... it doesn't only hurt to end it now

Is life over, this life's over?
Fm G
Or has it only just begun?

It grows colder, starts to moulder
Fm G
Coming apart yet still not done
