| A course was set
|
| But with a planet this far gone
|
| Was there ever any hope at all?
|
| I vaguely recollect the ache of our ambition
|
| Our brief age of contrition
|
| We set out, we had a mission
|
| Once our common cause
|
| I would give my all
|
| The sun could not outshine me
|
| It wasn’t something new
|
| Just something real and true
|
| There is a fire in my heart
|
| And somewhere deep inside
|
| A cry for war still overtakes the silence
|
| All they ever see is my face
|
| It’s all part of the show
|
| Our masquerade, always
|
| Dawn is only so near
|
| And our pain and our pride
|
| Is all we have here
|
| Always
|
| We are too busy standing tall
|
| Caught up, and too afraid
|
| What happens if we stumble, if we fall?
|
| We build our homes of sticks and weeds
|
| And fear the wind too much to risk planting new seeds
|
| But that’s just what we need now
|
| Once our common cause
|
| I would give my all
|
| The sun could not outshine me
|
| It wasn’t something new
|
| Just something real and true
|
| There is a fire in my heart
|
| And somewhere deep inside
|
| A cry for war still overtakes the silence
|
| All they ever see is my face
|
| It’s all part of the show
|
| Our masquerade, always
|
| Dawn is only so near
|
| And our pain and our pride
|
| Is all we have here
|
| Always
|
| But you’re still on my mind, in my sights
|
| And if I have to carry on alone
|
| I will conquer on my own
|
| I stand outside the world, A Guardian
|
| I will defend it with my life
|
| And I am soaring ever higher
|
| All they ever see is my face
|
| It’s all part of the show
|
| Our masquerade, always
|
| Dawn is only so near
|
| And our pain and our pride
|
| Is all we have here
|
| Always
|
| All they ever see is my face
|
| It’s all part of the show
|
| Our masquerade, always
|
| Dawn is only so near
|
| And our pain and our pride
|
| Is all we have here
|
| …all we have |
