Nails are slowly driven into the lid of my pine box
before I'm lowered into my grave
I recall a better place when I was still alive
but time finally caught up with me
don't cry for me my friends
this is a momentary goodbye
we'll meet again someday
on the other side
though my voice is silenced
my spirit it won't die
you'll see me in the shadows
on the other side
the dirt is placed above this casket it's airtight
do the dead dream of a better life?
I recall the yesterdays when my heart it still beat
but time finally caught up with me
don't grieve for me my friends
this is a momentary goodbye
we'll meet again someday
on the other side
though my body's gone
my memory won't die
you'll see me in the shadows
on the other side

don't cry for me my friends
this is a momentary goodbye
we'll meet again someday
on the other side
though my life is over
my memory won't die
you'll see me in the shadows
on the other side
