Life Fades Away

My time has come, the clouds are calling
December wind has came my way
And now I feel the world falling
All at once, it's too late
Life fades away
The night is my day
All thoughts slip away
And even though, I must leave you
Remember I love you
I'll always be in your memories
I will always be with you when I'm gone
Hey, life fades away
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Life fades away
I'm tired on tomorrow. Lost for today
I long to be at peace forever
My dull peace
And even though, I will miss you
I must leave you
Hey, life fades away
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Life fades away
So please forgive me and try not to cry
I long to be at peace forever more
Forever more
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Life fades away
Life fades away
Life fades away. Away
One last thing to say
Life fades away
