Candles light these empty words spoken of my past A dreamy and forgotten time When all my dreams were clear as glass Sadness paints darkened colors of all my days gone by The tearful shards of what remains this man And his shattered life, shattered life A distant bell ring out its tone a warning of end of days Chills my soul deep down inside no return to yesterdays Its droning tone reminds me How predictable my life's become Every day just like the last takes a toll my brain is numb Tell me how to change my life, tell me what to do Teach me how life is good, tell me what to see On and on this song plays on each note sounds the same Striking a chord within my soul causing life to drain When this opus finally ends will its chime ring sweet? Cause us all to make amends repent our ways Bring it to an end Conductor of this symphony what others dream as life? Each note rings out a glimpse of truth Guide me to the afterlife Sing to me oh heavenly ones let me hear your song Ringing true within my heart turning rights from wrong Sing my song for all to hear and turn from evil ways This deviant life we all have lived Now changed for future sake Tell me how to change my life tell me what to do Teach me how life is good, tell me what to see Conductor of this symphony what others dream as life? Each note rings out a glimpse of truth Guide me to the afterlife
