A shadow affair, a flirt with dust

Behold as the world turns to ash and rust

The cry of a child drowned by the beggar’s plea

A lonesome tree in the sands of time

A fate destined to wither in grime

No future in sight unless we find the key

How to speak when no one listen

And the world is turning deaf

Please tell me how to hope

When dreams lie shattered and scattered on the ground

All nations forced to watch the sun go down

No queen to be, no king to wear a crown

Go find a haven, though in haste

Go seek refuge before we’re running out of days

Praise be the day when future is past

Ahead is winter, and winter will last

The child will grow blind to another’s need

Watch a flickering flame through the hourglass

A soul doomed to become the mass

No one ever wonders if he ever had a name

How to speak when no one listens

And the world is turning deaf

Please tell me how to hope

When dreams lie shattered and scattered on the ground

All nations forced to watch the sun go down

No queen to be, no king to wear a crown

Go find a haven, though in haste

Go seek refuge before we’re running out of days

No deeds were done, not a word was said

Silence everywhere

A final bow, a feeling of regret

No one is left to care

Love and hate and sanity disappearing in a flash

No king or queen can rule, my friend, in a kingdom burned to ash

All nations forced to watch the sun go down

No queen to be, no king to wear a crown

Go find a haven, though in haste

Go seek refuge before we’re running out of days
