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 'till death to sing my praise

 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

 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

 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 ˜till death to sing my praise

 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 (˜till death) to sing my praise
