I won't leave this world living like a ghost
Won't be a tear drop in the rain
To kill the fear inside that hurts the most
To live until my dying day

When I'm buried deep
Will someone cry for me
When my memory's in stone

Who will say my name
When I'm dead and gone
Will I die in vain
Or will I carry on
Will I be forgotten
Who will sing my song
Will I be remembered
I wanna be remembered
When I'm dead and gone

I've been at war with my own legacy
I've gone through hell to build my throne
No, they'll never take it
No, they can't erase it
No, the world wants to burn away my history
I'll write my ending on my own

When I'm buried deep
Will someone cry for me
Who will say my name
When I'm dead and gone
Will I die in vain
Or will I carry on
Will I be forgotten
Who will sing my song
Will I be remembered
I wanna be remembered
When I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone

No, they'll never take it
No, they can't erase it
No, the world wants to burn away my history
I'll write my ending on my own

When I'm buried deep
Will someone cry for me
When my memory's in stone

Who will say my name
When I'm dead and gone
Will I die in vain
Or will I carry on
Will I be forgotten
Who will sing my song
Will I be remembered
I wanna be remembered
When I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone
Who will say my name
I wanna be remembered
I wanna be remembered
When I'm dead and gone
