|
Old man you know the path to go |
|
No one can flee his fate or destiny |
|
Escape life's grim reality |
|
He takes the stairs down to his hidden kingdom |
|
Where puppets and clows bow to their lord of dreams |
|
Who lived a lie or so it seems |
|
A big collection carved from marble, stone or wood |
|
His life's work - now soon to be forgotten |
|
Just one Piece to go! His claim to fame to keep |
|
His name up high - it should!Oh.. how his |
|
Fingers have bled, to fulfill his dream |
|
That for a long time - already is...dead! |
|
He flirts with his drink, Burns out another fag |
|
And he sighs with a smile.. Funny how the worries |
|
Fade with each and every drag you take |
|
Empty Pockets, Hollow scheme |
|
Nothing left but a broken dream.. |
|
Oh,Human stain - life's decay.. |
|
At the end of the day |
|
With shacky hands he holds the knife. He knows he should |
|
And he would - leave another marking on the table |
|
For one last masterpiece of marble, stone or wood |
|
Oh, but he's cold and he's conscious somehow - that if time |
|
Will allow.. tonight he must take his last bow! |
|
You live shy of life - is it worth the strive.. |
|
This obscure waste of time? |
|
Oh, remember my name, I was the master of the game! |
|
You've neglected love - and to God above |
|
That goes down as your crime! |
|
Oh, I tried to stand tall - I plead guilty to it all |
|
Now the curtain must fall! |
|
We're gathered here in faith, God fear to witness and share. |
|
Our next of kin, now freed from sin. No more to lay bare |
|
From life He shied, no tears were cried as we witnessed his fall |
|
Old man you lived just as you died..alone! |
|
Now your free - FREE FROM IT ALL... |
|
What is life and what is death? |
|
Are We just paws in someone's game of chess? |
|
Is it all an illusion.. a far forbidden dream? |
|
Is God the maker of this complex scheme? |
|
Am I his decoy through my suffering joy? |
