On hollow ground I sit and wait, 
Playing songs upon your graves 
And I hope that you can hear me 
Cause you know that I have got a lot to say. 

So you made all your mistakes, 
But you didn't die in vain. 
You know that I was taking notes 
And I assure you that I won't do the same things. 

All my fathers dead and gone, 
All my mothers, brothers, and sisters tagged along. 
And they left me all alone 
With the rest of the lost souls 
In this world that made our home. 

And what I'd really want to know 
Is do we really have to go? 
Cause I don't think that I believe 
And I must admit that I'm pretty afraid to leave. 
So I call on you tonight, 
Come up and tell me everything is going to be alright. 
I'll tell you what it's like to be alive, 
If you tell me what it felt like to die. 

(If you tell me what it's like to die 
Than I can tell you what it's like to be alive.) (4x)
