Too many souls just fade away

And leave nothing behind

Too many live just for the day

And let their time pass by



Too many graves stay nameless

In the garden of the dead

Too many pictures frameless

Blurred lost memories



Do not search this place for me 

Search for me deep in your heart 

If I haven't built my memorial there 

My life has been in vain



So I must not fear the time 

When the reaper shows its face 

My memorial will shine 

Brighter than the sun 



Let come the night, the final day 

To retreat forever 

My soul will sweep away 

And will not be forgotten 



Do not search this place for me

Search for me deep in your heart

If I haven't built my memorial there

My life has been in vain
