When the Lights Go Down Songtext

von Violet Sun

Life escapes day by day
Looking through stained mirrors I just can see my shame
What am I living for today?
For great illusions!

Here I stand deceived man
With my big ambitions full in my empty life
With thousand dreams but without guide
I chase the shadows ... what

What am I looking for?
Centuries are gone
What remains on my hands?

After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
We can only resign to the quickly passing time

When the world belonged to me
I was young I was the king of the midnight life
And all the stars were high and bright on my horizons
Now...

... That I'm searching for one hope to rebirth
What is really matter?

When there's no one more chance and life goes so fast now
We can only resign to the passing age's price

What am I living for?
My life has just gone
What remained on my hands?

After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
And the lights go down
Yet I've lost all my life in deceptive illusions

There is no one more chance to turn back on lifetime
Going out of my bounds
I can only resign to the quickly passing time
