Remnant of a past long dead

I can hear the time pass by
as I try to close my eyes
I'd love to scream at the world
but who would hear my cries?

No one

So much for happy endings
I gave up hope
but what I wouldn't give
to have life just let me go
There is no future, everyday is like your last
That leaves no time to pray it will end fast

We're all bound so play along
and look away while Nero plays his song
The dream of hope has turned blood red
The remnant of a past long dead

No way out, we're bound here
Cursed to live, long to die
We're broken so quickly
all we have means nothing

All my life I spent in pain
As everyone learned to fall
I watched them rid the world
'til there was no beauty at all

There is no future, everyday is like your last
That leaves no time to pray it will end fast

All my years I've seen the pain
I never learned to look away
Another coffin, Another rose
Which proves we are the ones who pay

No way out, we're broken
Cursed to live, long to die

We're all bound so play along
and look away while Nero plays his song
The dream of hope has turned blood red
The remnant of a past long dead
