| [00:00.95] | (Eva:) |
| [00:03.88] | The choice was mine, and mine completely |
| [00:10.81] | I could have any prize that I desired |
| [00:18.24] | I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire |
| [00:26.59] | Or else, or else I could choose time |
| [00:33.72] | |
| [00:34.71] | Remember I was very young then |
| [00:41.51] | And a year was forever and a day |
| [00:49.31] | So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be? |
| [00:57.55] | I saw the lights, and I was on my way |
| [01:05.22] | |
| [01:05.47] | And how I lived, how they shone |
| [01:14.02] | But how soon the lights were gone |
| [01:20.54] | |
| [02:17.32] | (Che:) |
| [02:27.87] | The choice was yours and noone else's |
| [02:34.31] | You can cry for a body in despair |
| [02:42.86] | Hang your head because she is no longer there |
| [02:51.22] | To shine, to dazzle, or betray |
| [02:58.90] | How she lived, how she shone |
| [03:05.97] | But how soon the lights were gone |
| [03:11.21] | |
| [03:18.98] | (Embalmers:) |
| [03:23.10] | Eyes, hair, face, image |
| [03:27.90] | All must be preserved |
| [03:33.52] | Still life displayed forever |
| [03:40.01] | No less than she deserved. |
