I Have Seen My Soul Lyrics


"...Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." - Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900

People die of common sense, Dorian.

One lost moment at a time.

There's no hereafter.

So make it burn with the hardest flame.

Am I to fade?

Am I to share this fate?

I have seen my soul!

It's rotten, black as coal!

For all I see is decay.

Take a look, take a look

At the picture of Dorian Gray!

How sad it is. I shall grow old!

If it only were I who's to be always young

And the picture grows old.

For that I would give everything

I would give my soul for that.

I can assure you,

Pleasure is very different from happiness.

I have seen my soul!

It's rotten, black as coal!

For all I see is decay.

Take a look, take a look

At the picture of Dorian Gray!
