And now the day is done
All things led to this graveyard
Cemetery of forbidden souls
Forbidden to cry out
Forbidden to participate
Really my friend you're background
You are the scenery for action taking place
You're not there you don't exist
OK there's a body you took
And made it look alive
The great charade personified
The stream of souls you represent
What's out there mister
But a fortunate crescendo of power
You dodge and disappear
You quake and enter chasms
Screaming for an answer
That you know you'll never get
Dreaming of quiet times
And the shadows of the stars
And the day you'll hardly remember
And the night you'll never forget
