Adora Vivos Lyrics - Singles - Woods Of Ypres

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 'till 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 

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 ˜till 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 (˜till death) to sing my praise
