Nightingale - Echoes of a Dream

There was something inside of him
About to fall apart
Drifted closer to the edge
Couldn't still his bleeding heart
All doors had closed on him
The riddles wouldn't solve
Weakened he just shut his eyes
Let the darker side evolve and prevail

Quickly and quietly he faded
As he lost the strength to carry on
It never seemed worth all pain
He had fought in vain
Inside the darkness he would stay
The momеnt his soul turned cold and jaded
And his will to live had diеd and gone
The only way out came clear had to disappear
And lose the dead weight on the ground

The echoes of a dream
Was all that he would be
His puzzled mind could never find
A good reason for his time
He realized too late
We assemble our own fate
It's sad to say so much easier
To erase than to rewind
A note that he left behind it said "Nothing here is true this world was never meant for me but I'm sure I'll find mine too"
The absence within his mind
Was present all the time
The burden from a grain of sand
Was too heavy to withstand
The moment his soul turned cold and jaded
And his will to live had died and gone
The only way out came clear had to disappear
And lose the dead weight on the ground

The echoes of a dream
Was all that he would be
His puzzled mind could never find
A good reason for his time
He realized too late
We assemble our own fate
It's sad to say so much easier
To erase than to rewind
Living came to a state
Of merely staying alive
The house of cards caved in
A better deal next time
