Lyrics Serj Tankian - When Death Arrives

When death arrives on my grave
Visiting friends that all forgave
Tell them to never forget
To get drunk before the moon sets

Ladies let there be no tears
Horizontally matching my fears
The familiar face of that stance
Asleep as your memories dance

When death arrives on my tomb
The kissing of lovers will resume
Getting drunk on love's only kiss
Recalling my songs in the mist

May the god of love soar in the sky
Anointing my grave with holy wine
And let his curls wave in the air
His name will remain a secret stare

The advisory black pages of despise
Browsing ourselves we found in demise
It was written hell with the color red
Knowing you forth-with send overhead

But we chose this life insecure
To the open sea we sailed unsure
Loyal to our crazy dream
Avoiding being slaves to the mainstream
To the mainstream

May god forgive my sins defined
My restless life behavior unrefined
I've written songs according to his will
Seeking absolution through his pill

Let glorification decorate his name
From his songbook i stole songs all in vain
Learning lessons from this book of life
His inspiration's my secret strife

When death arrives on my grave
Visiting friends that all forgave
We'll silently leave and all return
In eternity, eternity

Joining my world
In eternity
Joining my world
