When I die

Will I leave a peaceful world behind?

Or will it all have gone to shit with mankind

Like the truths that some say

I accept but don't pay

Much mind to in the present day

Will I find it hard to go in peace?

If constant hardship makes up reality

With no chapels or priests

And the thing that I leave

Is escaped with nothing bittersweet

Oh the times that we're living

They really got me thinking

Whether I go out with a fight

Or a so-called coward's ending

I'll be sure to maintain

I'll stubbornly commit my brain

To saying goodbye

To this place with a smile

And to something worthwhile

Oh come on everybody, remember with me

Not sick people or sick minds that are never at ease

Not rising tides or topped-out mercury

Never famine, suffocation or broken families

Join me in recalling safe and sound memories

Like singing out our hearts as if the notes could cure disease

Fondly think back to younger years free of care

When a dream was a dream and not a future to prepare

Talks that bring us close and make us feel alive

Eyes seeing eyes through to the person behind

Nights lit up with laugher until met with sunrise

And love that's only felt - that no words can describe

Oh I'll go quietly

No chaos for my company

Yeah I'll go quietly

And I will remember fondly

Because that's the life I know

No matter how we might go

Together or one by one

Fast and sudden or painful and slow

I'll go quietly

I'll remember peace

And I'll rest in it's memory
