Singing While the World Dies Songtext
von Hellsingland Underground

I don′t remember being born
But I recall a summer's rain
I do remember my first love
But repress the following pain
I recall a trip on a fishing boat
And a porno mag hidden out in the woods
And I recall a dream a long time ago
About leaving on a jet plane

Like vikings of the modern age
Drunk and filled with madness
I′d say goodbye to all the things I'd hate
Sit and laugh all my enemies in the face

And I'd go, there′s been too much talking
Too little done throughout my life
I kept on digging without finding
Any gold, singing while the world dies


I dreamed about a gypsy′s life
And how I'd climb the ladder
From limbo to some vague paradise
And come back and tell about it
Like the golden age of rock and roll
It′s happening now, not some thirty years ago

Gotta keep on making the music
That makes us feel fine through the hard times
Keep on telling the truth about this life
Singing while the world dies

Look at the sky, I'm on that plane
Just a little less young than I thought I′d be on this day
But it should have been you travelling with me
We had two sides of the same coin, Jimmy
We used to share that same dream
While you choose your side
And I choose mine
Trying to keep the spark alive
While something inside of you died
And you left your true self behind


Keep on dreaming people, it's the only way
Keep on dreaming, everything′s gonna be okay
And sing na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Through the hard times
Sing na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
While the world dies
Keep on singing
Through the hard times
Keep on singing
While the world dies

Everybody seemed so depressed
And nobody sang the blues
Except for this little band
We made the music feel new
