|
Frozen in a state of non-existence |
|
This moment of pain is an eternity |
|
A second stretched out into forever |
|
Shakes the very frame of my soul |
|
An eon of the present is the penance of hell |
|
Time slowly ticks away the centuries |
|
Another second passes, a foolish respite |
|
Because those to come are infinity |
|
Long after midnight, |
|
I build castles in the air |
|
I touch and |
|
I feel them in my heart |
|
Why can't they be real? |
|
Everyone watches, but no one is near |
|
All seem to listen, but few really hear |
|
The silence is deep, yet in an uproar |
|
And there's no escape, for they've locked the door |
|
Long after midnight, immortality seems so true |
|
I dream of a better time to come |
|
For me and also for you |
|
The battle is over but the war is not won |
|
The evil's chasing me and |
|
I cannot run |
|
All around me ideals are rotting away |
|
But I cannot ever give up the fight |
