So bare and empty it stands in a wilted scenery It was once so splendid, the origin of dreams. Deep in your thoughts it spins your experience To a thick ball of dreams Once you were able to wonder And now you feel so grown up, like a perfect guy No tear will ever find its way through your eyes I can still hear you laughing Still see you playing between the columns An opera of youth was performed in the hall You wrote the lyrics to every scene Today the dream theater plays the last act. The forgotten ruin crumbles deep in you Forgotten all your dreams All the things you've been through The cold wind howls The velvet curtains fall Please try to remember - you used to count on it too Now all your roses You once tended in your brain Are old and withered - No more life in their veins I can still hear you laughing Still see you playing between the columns An opera of youth was performed in the hall You wrote the lyrics to every scene Today the dream theater plays the last act. Once I could hear every whisper in the rows It was once so stately, You could cry and laugh Now your emotions - Frozen in an icey lake - How couild that happen You once promised to be different... I can still hear you laughing Still see you playing between the columns An opera of youth was performed in the hall You wrote the lyrics to every scene Today the dream theater plays the last act. You have lied to me I believe in you
