I had a love, but that love's been forsaken
'N I'll never die, no I will never die
His head it was heavy, his voice was shakin'
'N I'll never die, no I will never die
'N we'll never die, no we will never die
He said, "This used to be a cradle of civilization
'N we'll never die, no we'll never die
You can pull down the flags, it's the death of a Nation
He said, "Look what they've done, it's the death of a Nation"
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
I followed his shadow right out of the bar
From the bottom of this ancient heart
'Cos I love you still, I love you still, I love you still
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
'N I'll never die, no I will never die
Money isn't everything, when you're turning your back on a dream
And now look what they've done, it's the death of a Nation"
Your promises ain't worth the paper they're printed on
And we talked all night 'neath the light of the stars
I held you together when you were breakin'
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
'N we'll never die, no we will never die
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
'N we'll never die, no we'll never die
Every thing's illusion now, nothing's what it seems
Look what they've done, it's the death of a Nation
I hate to see you falling apart
You've been getting away with it far too long
