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
