Dead Gardens (Remastered)

[Verse 1]
The story behind the painting I drew is already told
No more tearstains on the pages of my diary
Tired but unable to give up
Since I'm responsible for the lives I saved

[Refrain]
The play is done (The play is done)
The curtain's down

[Chorus]
All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens

[Verse 2]
My song is little worth anymore
Time to lay this weary pen aside

[Refrain]
The play is done (The play is done)
The curtain's down

[Bridge]
Whеre are the wolvеs, the underwater moon
The elvenpath, the haven of youth
Lagoons of the starlit sea?
Have I felt enough for one man's deed
Or is it time to challenge the Ancient of Days
And let the virgin conceive?

[Chorus]
All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
All the tales are told
All the orchids gone
Lost in my own world
Now I care for dead gardens
