Lyrics
A moment of silence
But not one moment more
The dead are to be forgotten
We are here to be adored
Look me in the eyes
Don't believe a word they say
For life is good, life is glory
Though we live one life only
Tell me in real-time
Don't hesitate to profess
Love me in the flesh
Don't wait 'til death to sing my praise
A moment of silence
But not one moment more
The dead are to be forgotten
We are here to be adored
In the bleak life and modern times
Under grey skies and electric light
Mortal men are living gods
More real than any god ever was
Adora Vivos, our people are civilized
Love the living while they're still alive
Adora Vivos, our people are civilized
We shouldn't worship the dead
We shouldn't worship the dead
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
(We shouldn't worship the dead)
In the bleak life and modern times
Under grey skies and electric light
Where the living still walk the earth alone
More real than any god ever was
In bleak life, we are realer than gods
More real than any god ever was
In modern times, we are realer than gods
More real than any god ever was
Under grey skies and electric light
We, the living, still walk the earth alone
Where mortal men are living gods
More real than any god ever was
A moment of silence for the dead
But not one moment more
They've all gone to be forgotten
We're still here to be adored
Look me in the face
And don't believe a word I say
This life is hard, this life is lonely
And we are here for one night only
See the pain in my eyes
The defeat of my age
Feel the urgency of time
And don't wait 'til death to sing my praise
A moment of silence for the dead
But not one moment more
The dead are to be forgotten
We are here to be adored
If you're waiting for tomorrow
Save yourself for another day
But if you're living in the moment
Don't wait 'til death to sing my praise
Adora Vivos, our people are civilized
Love the living while they're still alive
Adora Vivos, our people are civilized
We shouldn't worship the dead
In the bleak life and modern times
Under grey skies and electric light
Mortal men are living gods
More real than any god ever was
