And so we leave our mighty dreams
still hard to cover
World don't mean a thing
when life's one darkest hour
Forgotten promises fall without reason... Maybe we seem strong
with mask torn down all lose their power
Stars won't shine so bright
courting death - our last lover
All's lost and wasted in forsaken vision...
On quest for joy pretending's the art
See the actor die in his best part
Is anguish that we feel the greatest attraction
How death is charming our poor lives Bridge:
His days are nearly over
but still he tries to understand
Every tear he had to bury
Every grave in no man's land
Chorus:
Old man dies [is dying]
alone in bed where all his life [denying]
he used to cry, he used to hide
fears of tomorrow, gray shades of old sorrow
Believe me my friend, life's not fair
when everything you cling to
every dream that seems true
is just a castle in the air Forgotten promises fall without reasons
All feelings cast away on the island of treason
Storm in his mind he can't find the decision
All's lost and wasted in forsaken vision Bridge
Chorus
