From the EP 'La Vie'.

Music and words by Anneke van Giersbergen
When I die
I will no longer wonder why
I didn’t know what I didn’t know
When I die
I’ll return to the sky
She’ll take me home
I’ll learn to fly
All the answers will be given
To questions that once were hidden
From my days in the land of the living
From my time as a passerby
When I die
My body will stay behind
Rapidly changing from flesh to dust
All this time I took care of, and neglected it
I loved it and I rejected it
My vehicle in the land of the living
In my time as a passerby
When I die
I will leave something behind
My body of work over the course of time
Perhaps a bundle of poems will remain
However, they’ll evaporate all the same
Disappearing from the land of the living
After my time as a passerby
But here and now
Somewhere, somehow
Our future’s here and crystal clear
The road is long, but we are strong
Unbreakable throughout our fears
We run to be free
We run to be courageous
We run to be free
We run to be fearless
To save us
When I die
When I die
When I die
When I die
