When All Is Lost

I believe nothing ever comes to light
 Chasing shadows in the night
 In a starless sky
 And I wonder why
 Oh, I believe we will never find a way
 That darkness lights the day
 We never question why
 Still I wonder why?
 I close my eyes lost in a memory
 Just like a candle in the wind
 What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye
 You spread your wings to fly, far away
 Somehow, someday you will understand
 I hope you'll understand someday
 ♪
 Silent pictures speak like ghosts in the machine
 Haunting my reflection in the frame
 Chasing down the hopeful child inside of me
 Where'd it all go wrong, and who's to blame?
 Uh, we pass the time away
 With empty lives, the laughter dies
 Oh, is this all we have to show?
 Is this all they'll ever know?
 Can they find their way?
 
 What went wrong?
 Where have all the heroes gone?

 Thinking only of myself, I forged ahead
 No regrets, no apologies
 Bitter tears reward the life that I have led
 A world of lies brings me to my knees, oh
 I took the road with every twist and every turn
 The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned
 Lose your fear and free your soul
 Or the mysteries of life you'll truly never know
 You'll never know
 Is this all we have to show?
 Is this all they'll ever know?
 Can they find their way?
 
 What went wrong?
 Where have all the heroes gone?
 Trading futures for a song, we gave away
 Just gave it away
 I close my eyes, lost in that memory
 Like a candle in the wind
 What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye
 You spread your wings to fly, far away
 I hope you'll understand one day
 ♪
 We pass the time away
 With empty lives the laughter dies
 And the colors fade
 Fade away

 Oh yeah, they fade away
