Symphony X - When All Is Lost - Текст песни

 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...
