Serenity with all tranquillity
Vanished with a dream gone out of season

The hot blood of youth
Trails to marble halls
You took me by your hand
To gilded pictures on the walls
God how I loath them
But feel the need to kneel before them
False kings can make every jester
To do the death´s dance to their tune

Confusion in illusion
Closing in - closing to lead astray
Past days I knew my way
Now I know I am but losing the Light
For not all lights warm
Nor shine, nor guide
As along the way
Treacherous phantasms can drain out
An open hard and soul
Wounded on the road

These roads lead nowhere - yet I must walk them
The empty streets and empty nights
Empty hearts, their empty rhymes
Emptiness fills my mind
Separated from the Light

In a stranger is a friend
Watching your back - waiting to gun you down

Hold on to your cap n´bells
As I´ll sing you like in days of old
Of kings and queens of yesterday
Turned knaves of tomorrow´s court
And with scepters rusted
Now sowing no more sorrow
Like autumn´s last leaves falling
I know because I am one

Confusion in illusion
Closing in - closing to lead astray
Past days I knew my way
Now I know I am but losing the Light

Faint flashes in the cold city nights
Yet they blind me as I stare
The empty streets and empty nights
Empty hearts, their empty rhymes
Emptiness fills my mind

With all but one I can live
All the wounds can forgive
Should I once again see the Light

Where are your dreams, your high ideals now?
Did you drink them up or cough them up
Or burn them up in smoke and vapour?
