Strong As a Melody

Here we are standing strong as a melody's dying phrase
Listening as the end of our reveille fades away
Giving up on our own nationality. Fly away
Selling off all our rights in eternity's final days

Strong as a melody is long
Now that the melody is gone

Shouldn't we risk our life in an enemy's time of need
Picturing that he's raising a family? Life could be
How we cry for the fate of our lovers that fall away
Yet we think someone else comes to carry us through the day

Strong as a melody is long
Now that the melody is gone

It's a myth that our life is unlimited. Live for now
Sealing fate with our lack of initiative, take a bow
Lying down we're sedate yet a part of us lies awake
In our death we live out our mortality's passing grace

Strong as a melody is long
Now that the melody is gone

Strong as a melody is long
Now that the melody is gone
