Serj Tankian - When Death Arrives lyrics

When death arrives on my grave
Visiting friends that all forgave
Tell them to never forget
To get drunk before the moon sets
Ladies let there be no tears
Horizontally matching my fears
The familiar face of that stance
Asleep as your memories dance

When death arrives on my tomb
The kissing of lovers will resume
Getting drunk on love's only kiss
Recalling my songs in the mist
May the god of love soar in thе sky
Anointing my grave with holy wine
And let his curls wavе in the air
His name will remain a secret stare
The advisory black pages of despise
Browsing ourselves we found demise
It was written hell with the color red
Knowing you forth-with send overhead
But we chose this life insecure
To the open sea we sailed unsure
Loyal to our crazy dream
Avoiding being slaves to the mainstream
To the mainstream

May god forgive my sins defined
My restless life behavior unrefined
I've written songs according to his will
Seeking absolution through his pill
Let glorification decorate his name
From his songbook i stole songs all in vain
Learning lessons from this book of life
His inspiration's my secret strife
When death arrives on my grave
Visiting friends that all forgave
We'll silently leave and all return

In eternity, eternity joining my world
In eternity joining my world
