Did you love him as he died on the cross

Did you learn the meaning, end or cause

On and on you know I hear it said

Only listening when you are dead

No recognition for a shining jewel

Why do men have to be so cruel

It won't be the first, it won't be the last

In the future and in the past



No excuses for mistake

Always someone left to foresake



Chorus:

Love me when I'm dead

Love me when I'm dead

Love me when I'm dead

Love me when I'm dead



No avow for the sublime

It will be that way 'till the end of time

Each and all there's instilled some good

Little or nothing's left understood

Criticizing all that is true

Just going on what you thought you knew

It won't be the first, it won't be the last

In the future and in the past



-Chorus-



That's the way it's going to be

It's me and you to make history

In the future in the past

Won't be the first, Won't be the last



-Chorus-
