Text:
Far, far away from you
Is the world you once knew
Lost in shadows
You wake up from the dream at dawn
Feeling all is gone
Your path is clear so why do you ask
Why these tears neath the darkened sky
Ref.:
Skies falling
as all the stars went out
And none is left to guide you out of the doubt
To tell right from wrong
Through winds, through storms, a never-ending song
Chasing a dream
You still believe to be
more than just fantasy
As on this road you roam
You are on your own
A restless swallow
And all the things you thought were real
Slowly disappear
Sacrificed in the choices you’ve made
Keep them close until they fade
Ref.:
Skies falling
As all the stars went out
And none is left to guide you out of the doubt
To tell right from wrong
Through winds, through storms, a never-ending song
Chasing a dream
Though you begin to see
The world we live is not for fantasies
And all this time you tried
On your own to decide
But in this game, you only play a part
In the cold starless night
You walk alone
On the path marked out by the light
Of laws carved in stone
You don’t need to see the end
That was chosen for your fate
In the plans of the mastermind
You are nothing but the role you play
Leave behind the hopes of a child
There is more to see and more to understand
Come, embrace the truth:
The rules are made to be
In someone else’s hands
In your loss and sorrow
Never fall into despair
Open the door, take in the pain
You are the scars you bear
(Face your fears and dry the tears
Your fate is real
Leave the stars and wear the scars
And hope they’ll heal)
