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
