One day, you will be gone. We’ll stumble upon each other on the street. But I won’t know you, and you won’t know me. Maybe I’ll give you a nod, and perhaps you’ll say hello. As we walk on by, neither of us will look back. ‘Cause all will be gone. When she asks you who I am, you’ll say: «oh, just someone I once knew» Holding her hand a little tighter. Just like that, we will be gone. All the fragments of everything that used to be alive, will be washed away, like patterns in sand.  And it will all be gone.

All Will Be Gone
One day, you will be gone. We’ll stumble upon each other on the street. But I won’t know you, and you won’t know me. Maybe I’ll give you a nod, and perhaps you’ll say hello. As we walk on by, neither of us will look back. ‘Cause all will be gone. When she asks you who I am, you’ll say: «oh, just someone I once knew» Holding her hand a little tighter. Just like that, we will be gone. All the fragments of everything that used to be alive, will be washed away, like patterns in sand.  And it will all be gone.
And that's how life works!
