Destinys End First You Dream Then You Die Lyrics

First You Dream Then You Die Lyrics

Real lives fade, but dreams flare on

Approaching the edge, thoughts sore
high



One thing is certain

That is your life must end

Withering to ashes

You'll meet oblivion



Awaiting the
scythe to steal each moment from your lungs

Underneath the cold stars,
you'll stand your ground

Dancing through night lands evading death's
ends

Shadows will stalk you through all your days

Annihilation
before the dawn



First you'll dream of scenes divine

And
truths beyond reality's lie

First you'll seek goals soaring high

Never knowing when you'll die



Your days are numbered on this
earth

Risk awaits you at every turn



Someday you'll end it
all

Ignore possibilities

From out of nowhere

Your quest
renews again



The pain of living outweighs uncertainty

Each
precious moment is worth the wait

Shocking awareness, chances not to
waste

Nothing is perfect, no dream equal

Just one companion, the
guise of death ahead



[Chorus]



Random cosmic scheme,
like a falling beam

Snuffing out your life, spiting best laid plans

Mundane existence saps your blood away

Calling you morbid, you know
the truth alone



[Leads: Dan, Perry]



Just one
millions, a flickering life

Simply awaiting the winds of fate



One thing is certain

That is your life must end

Withering to
ashes

You'll meet oblivion



Follow ancient footsteps, a path
that's so well known

Stagnant existence, fit patterns set

Your
presence on this earth is the only time to learn

Forge one creation,
significance

One deviation before the end



[Chorus]
