Text by Elena Beribak:

This life is a dance;

Is it all left up to chance?

The Fates decide,

And seasons change.

I met you there,

Caught in the snare

Of your own making,

Eyes wonderful and strange.

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?

I’ve seen the wheels

Of time turning, turning.

We were innocent once,

For union yearning.

Our roots go deep

To the earth beneath our feet.

Love, look me in the eyes.

You are more than your sighs.

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?

There is no escape from life,

So rise to meet the day

As a tree rises to meet the axe.

This world is falling apart,

So make a home of your heart.

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?

Do you, do you really think, do you really think we’ll live forever?
