Time To Say Goodbye

Lyrics

The sky is carved in mourning grey,
While silent angels turn away.
We build our dreams from dust and stone,
Still every road is walked alone.

Every heartbeat counts the time,
Every light will lose its shine.
Nothing tells us when or why,
When it's time to say goodbye.

The hourglass keeps running down...
No warning comes around.

No one knows when it's time to say goodbye,
No one sees the final tear fall from the sky.
Hold me close before the silence takes it all,
Before the final curtain falls.

Every soul is passing through the dark,
Leaving memories, leaving one last mark.
No one knows...
When it's time to say goodbye.

The moon hangs low above the graves,
Every word is lost in rain.
Still your voice remains with me,
Beyond the years, beyond the sea.

If love survives the final breath,
If something waits beyond the end,
Then every road we leave behind
Will lead us back another time.

The hourglass keeps running down...
No warning comes around.

No one knows when it's time to say goodbye,
No one sees the final tear fall from the sky.
Hold me close before the silence takes it all,
Before the final curtain falls.

Every soul is passing through the dark,
Leaving memories, leaving one last mark.
No one knows...
When it's time to say goodbye.

Don't search beneath the stone...
Find me in the rain,
In the winter wind,
Where memories remain.

When darkness opens up its gates,
I will stand against my fate.
Let the night take what it will,
Something in me lingers still.

No one knows when it's time to say goodbye,
No one hears the final song beneath the sky.
But love can reach beyond the end of time,
Beyond the last dividing line.

When the stars grow cold and worlds collide,
I'll meet eternity with you beside me.
No one knows...
No one knows when it's time to say goodbye.

When the last light disappears...
Do not fear the dark.
Love does not die...
It leaves a mark.

Story / Comments

“Time to Say Goodbye” is about loss, mortality, and the uncertainty of never knowing when a final goodbye will come. Despite its dark atmosphere, the song carries a hopeful message: people may disappear, but love, memories, and the marks they leave behind can endure beyond death.
