Réquiem

If you only knew, my dear
How much I feel
For writing this requiem
In this sad August sky
I wear myself down and it's the end
Where little that’s left for me
Is a but, yes
But the crying, hear it

Do you know the pain that’s there?
Do you know when you pray for it to end?
It will pass, it will pass
Do you know the emptiness inside you?
Do you know the tomorrow that crumbled?
It will pass, it will pass

My dear, if I could have
One fleeting breeze more
I’d tell you that the pains of your world will fade
Before they sing your worst thunder
Before the last refrain thunders down

Do you know the hurt that haunts you?
Do you know the rage that consumes you?
It will pass, it will pass
Do you know when everything feels like blame
And there’s only despair?
Then, it will also pass
It will pass

When the Lord of all fear
Loses the battle in your chest
Distressed, suffering

Do you know pride? It will fall
Do you know loneliness? It will disappear.
It will pass, it will pass
Do you know memory? It will betray
Even if you forget me
It will pass, it will pass
Everything passes.
