When All Is Lost - Symphony X

I believe, nothing ever comes to light

Chasing shadows in the night

In a starless sky and I wonder why

Oh 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 the 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 stick 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

Oh, we pass the time away

With empty lives, the laughter dies

Oh!

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

Oh daylight fades away

Oh no no no!

Oh!

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…
