Lyrics All Roads - Interface

All Roads

When I was a younger man
The viper world was in my hands
Everything seemed like it was for now
Open doorways that I’d find
Impressive heights for me to climb
And confident that I’d prevail somehow
All the pieces into place
The look of passion on my face
To take the chance to be part of a whole
With endless promise in front of me
On such a path to destiny
Whoever thought that I would lose control
If I were a smarter man
With better grip from helping hands
Would any of this differently unfold?
From up and down and left to right
I didn’t always have the sight
Did I end up so blind by being bold?
When true emotion has no end
Enemies made from my friends
When true intentions have all gone astray
When senseless pride prevents your mind
From knowing what to seek and find
As quickly fortune comes it goes away
Carrying the weight
Of a thousand memories
Drowning in the sea of yesterday
Trudging through the dark
Hoping to get back my time
To the very end of what remains
Now that I’m an older man
And life’s no longer in my hands
I sit and wonder where I’ll go from here
Abandoned by the ones I’ve known
I’ve harvested what I have sown
And feeling like the end is drawing near
So what will be my legacy?
What you’ll remember about me?
Was I a mark of honor or a fool?
And as the curtain starts to fall
I wonder was it worth it all
The ending of this story is so cruel
The story’s over
The happy ending was an illusion
It’s all behind me now
And nowhere left to go
