Elysium

Somewhere the sun is shining and

somewhere there is a rain

Somewhere a child is trying

folding a paper plane

I bet there's a spot by the river

Seine where lovers hold hands

The great wheel is still revolving

but I can barely stand

 

I'm stuck in shadows and the

world moves on

All the light I had, was here and gone

Everything that once was yours

still waits in your room

Nothing can follow when you go to

Elysium

​

Somewhere a boy is dreaming,

maybe she wants to dance

Somewhere, someone’s giving the

day one last chance

Somewhere there’s a ridge to fight

for, somewhere there’s peace

But all I can think of is that you are

not here with me

​

Can you hear my silent screams

in the dark

trying to reach you, worlds apart

In every night, every empty space

My heart is a beating drum

We will meet again one day in

Elysium

​

I know the sounds of your voice will fade

until only wounded memories remain

There is still a part of me that

holds your hand in a setting sun

I know there is a dawn awaiting us in

Elysium

​

Somewhere there's a fire burning

somewhere there is not

Somewhere the tide will carry

home what the sea has lost

I never cared for losing hours ,

never cared for the falling leafs

That was before I knew, a long

time is still too brief

 

I drive the kids to school

and pass not far

where grandpa fell in grannys arms

My sisters kid, they named him John

An echo of where you are from

Do you get name tags when you are new in

Elysium?

 

Even though you´re gone

I will keep a part of you alive,

through my beating heart

Everything you stand and stood

for every river I´ve swum

trying to make my way to you in

Elysium

I will follow the beat of you to

Elysium

I know we will meet again one day in

Elysium
