The Final Curtain Lyrics

The Final Curtain lyrics

Album: Aphelion (2003)

 

 

 an outcast of victorian society

 a crying jag since long-gone childhood days

 the dream to be an albatross

 with alabaster wings

 to be flying

 before the last bell rings

 

 the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still

 the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near

 this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay

 what is the measure of a man ?

 and the price that we all pay

 

 [chorus]

 the final curtain falls

 none of the orchestra will play

 the stageplay life will hold

 the freakshow at the fair

 is there a straw in bursting dalles

 will someone care ?

 

 the looking glass, deceiver of reality

 the try of make-believe in who we are

 and the hiding in the mists of night will never end

 but a graceful heart prevails

 and the meaning of a friend

 

 [chorus]

 

 [bridge]

 mesmerized, hypnotized

 the audience touched to tears

 pay a visit, take a look

 so that the conscience clears

 

 [chorus]

 the final curtain falls

 none of the orchestra will play

 the stageplay life will hold

 the freakshow at the fair

 there is a straw in bursting dalles

 someone will care
