WHEN ALL IS LOST - Symphony X

When All Is Lost -Symphony X
I believe Nothing ever comes to light
Chasing shadows in the night
In a starless sky and I wonder why
I believe We will never find a way
That darkness lights the day
We never question why still I wonder why
I close my eyes lost in a memory
Just like a candle in the wind
What could have been with just one kiss goodbye
You spread your wings to fly
Far away somehow someday you will understand
I hope you'll understand someday
Silent pictures speak like ghosts in the machine
Haunting my reflection in the frame
Chasing down the hopeful child inside of me
Where'd it all go wrong and who's to blame
We pass the time away
With empty lives the laughter dies
Is this all we have to show
Is this all they'll ever know Can they find their way
What went wrong Where have all the heroes gone
Trading futures for a song we gave away
Thinking only of myself I forged ahead
No regrets no apologies
Bitter tears reward the life that I have led
A world of lies brings me to my knees
I took the road with every twist and every turn
The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned
Lose your fear and free your soul or
The mysteries of life you'll truly never know
You'll never know
Is this all we have to show
Is this all they'll ever know Can they find their way
What went wrong Where have all the heroes gone
Trading futures for a song we gave away
Just gave it away
I close my eyes lost in that memory
Like a candle in the wind
What could have been with just one kiss goodbye
You spread your wings to fly far away
I hope you'll understand one day
We pass the time away
With empty lives the laughter dies
And the colors fade fade away
Is this all we have to show
Is this all they'll ever know Can they find their way
What went wrong Where have all the heroes gone
Trading futures for a song we gave away
What went wrong
Where have all our heroes gone
Trade our future for a song
We gave it all away
