Death In Midsummer — текст песни (Danse Macabre)

Lyrics: Gunther Theys / Music: Jan Yrlund

It must be tragic indeed to realise that, one only has a short
time left on this
earth, especially when still being quite young. This past summer
I prefer to forget.
Nature in full glory, a weather of perfect bliss and life floating
on... But hardly for
my family. Two of my relatives were fighting a terminal disease
and also I was
facing an operation (although a less dangerous kind). Our summer season
overshadowed by gloom. This track I would like to dedicate to
my relative who
lost the battle and eventually his life in midsummer.

Death in midsummer

There is true beauty in all that dies
Nothing lasts forever...I know
Dreams, hopes, life itself
Slipping through my fingers
Slipping through my fingers
Like a sand on beaches
I used to know
So many people came and went
As years go by
Their faces fade like a song
In vain I try to hold on
To the humble knowledge
I gathered

Death in midsummer
Death in Midsummer

So much still to learn
To discover, to feel
Yet I sense
My earthly and only existence
Fade away

No light at the end of the tunnel
No God to save one`s soul
The atheist`s curse
The atheist curse
Life never seemed precious to me
But now...
It is so cruel to die

In the middle of summer
In the middle of summer
