A lovely melody is fading

My memories will stay

For months he was waiting



For you dark brother of sleep

Limbs are crippled, pain can't be eased

Decline and illness creep

Open doors for you, he is released



Is my life a castle built on sand

Did I hold a liar's hand

Walls of betrayal, roof of lies

Oh I'm scared what if truth dies



Whatever words will tell

Tales from heaven or from hell

They'll never change our past

What is true will always last



His life lies in my hand

A story from an unknown dark land

Happened many years ago

In a town where silent winds blow



Ashes to ashes he claims

Scattered pieces, nothing remains

But a fading melody

Some loving words in a diary



Is my life a castle built on sand

Did I hold a liar's hand

Walls of betrayal, roof of lies

Oh I'm scared what if truth dies



Whatever words will tell

Tales from heaven or from hell

Theyll never change our past

What is true will always last
