lyrics

The Secret

It’s said life’s an illusion
And someday we wake up
Rising like sleepwalkers
And drink a bitter cup.

Suddenly we’ll the truth
A magical surprise
Reality was just a trick
Played upon our eyes

Was it just a puppet show?
Did you lose or win?
Perhaps you are a hero
With a medal made of tin.

Standing in the ruins
At the end of day
Shadows fall
On broken walls
As lie just slips away…

I wonder if that day will come
Wise men say it must
When every dream and every hope
Lay fallen in the dust
What will be the hidden truth
Whispered low by death
What secret vision
Shall we see
When drawing our last breath?
