There's a time in your life

There's a time in your heart

When the things you know

Begin to break apart,

And the sorrow you've had

Flies away on the wind,

The love that you've know

Dies alone in the cold,

And it's then that you see

All you ever can be

Is a distant memory

So your cards are laid out

And the wages all laid,

The pocket ace you had

Lying dead before you,

The one that you face

Laughing coldly at you

Flauting all that you knew

And all of your dreams

His royal house

Destroying you,

There's a time in your life

There's a time in your heart

When the things that you know

Begin to break apart

And the laughter you gave

Sings a mocking tune

To the pain that you feel,

Pictures suck in your soul

Telling lies of old

Where once you were happy

With all of life's games

Cos at the end of the day

You knew where you stood

When you open your mouth

Words are stolen away

And the people you love

Have left you alone,

Promises everlasting

Fading into obscurity

Your Mother's love

Fled to the vaste beyond

Your Father's love

Staying close to home,

And at the end of the day

You are all alone

There's a time in your life,

There's a time in your heart,

When you understand

Of what your a part,

Ties of blood

Long abandonned

In the harsh reality

Of selfish love,

And the sins of flesh

Have beaten you down

When the ones trusted

Took innocence for granted,

And the family you loved

Has drifted in death

Paying their sins

With their mortal flesh

When you open your eyes

Just an empty space

A heartless culling of despair

And it's then that you know

And it's then that you see

All you can ever be

Is a distant memory
