Too old to live on, in a state of decay Tell him he's rotten as he's going to die Nothing to lose, no future for you Memories won't keep you away from the grave Fear is with you death is your share You're going to nowhere that's where you belong In a state of decay Life after death, could it be real If there's something then it sure must be pain No one shall care, die by yourself Curse all there is and breathe your last breath And now you know what life is all about You've only been waiting to die in the end In a state of decay You'll die, everything must die The meaning can never be found No reason left for you To stay alive one more day The only thing you do Is getting much too old You were living in the past It's time to join the dead Get into your grave Your body starts to rot away Worms inside eat your flesh Now you are in decay The end is there right from the start The day you're born your doom is sealed The day you'll die ain't far away All what lives or will be born Is joined in death before decay You can't stop your corpse to rot You can't stop the rush to death Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Time waits for no one and won't wait for you Look at yourself, where is that hair Once you were human, why should you live on You're almost dead how long will it take Before you realise everything is gone You're in a state of decay And there you are, chained by the years People they wonder if you're dead or alive Children they play, running around They are going where you're going to Because you know what life's all about You've only been waiting to die in the end In a state of decay
