I had a conversation with a dying man

He said "Son, make sure you live while you still can

Said, "I could write down the rules of war and
I could swim the seas", he said "Boy,
Oh you know not what you have"

Now I lay on my bed waiting

Those words resound in my head

Well I remember he told me

"You'll see when everything ends"

I had a conversation with a dying man

Said, "Life passes by in the blink of an eye

The gold will rust, and empires will follow
Swallowed by the sea, do you sleep sound?
Well, enjoy it while you can"

Now I lay on my bed waiting

Those words resound in my head

Well I remember he told me

"You'll see when everything ends"

Well I remember he told me

"You'll see when everything ends"

Here I lie, falling asleep on my death bed

And I don't think they're worthless anymore

Now I lay on my bed waiting,

Those words resound in my head

Now I remember he told me

"You'll see when everything ends"
I had a conversation with a dying man
He said "Son, make sure you live while you still can"
