Waltz of Lillian

Carnival of fallen and despaired
All the forgotten doomed to set sail
Innocence was lost so greed prevailed
Easy to get lost since truth is frail

Such a waste
All efforts made in vain
And nothing's built to last
Such disgrace
To twist and turn and change
And not the dis is cast
Could not believe, nor forsee
You would go drown in the Grey

Tired of lying
Constant fighting
The infection is the neglection
Rain kept falling
Once walked, now crawling
I remember our surrender
Made us shadows and ghosts
No one could save our souls

No one could save our souls
No one could save our souls
Made us shadows and ghosts
No one could save our souls

What did you see
And what did you know?
What made you retreat
Abandon it all?
Such fury and anger only few understand
But one cannot be saved
Unless one grabs a helping hand
It seems hope was all gone

Tired of lying
Constant fighting
The infection is the neglection
Rain kept falling
Once walked, now crawling
I remember our surrender

Playing the game, then change the rules
Gaining a fortune on fraud
Kill your darlings, change the tunes
- But do not wait for applause
Make mistakes and pay the dues
Go ahead - try to become God
How can one learn to know oneself
Before learning how to fall?
