A Change Of Seasons

[I. The Crimson Sunrise]

[Instrumental]

[II. Innocence]

I remember a timeMy frail, virgin mindWatched the crimson sunriseImagined what it might findLife was filled with wonderI felt the warm wind blowI must explore the boundariesTranscend the depth of winter's snow

Innocence caressing meI never felt so young beforeThere was so much life in meStill I longed to search for more

But those days are gone nowChanged like a leaf on a treeBlown away foreverInto the cool autumn breezeThe snow has now fallenAnd my sun's not so brightI struggle to hold onWith the last of my might

In my den of inequityViciousness and subtletyStruggle to ease the painStruggle to find the same

Ignorance surrounding meI've never been so filled with fearAll my life's been drained from meThe end is drawing near...

[III. Carpe Diem]

"Carpe diemSeize the day"

I'll always rememberThe chill of NovemberThe news of the fallThe sounds in the hallThe clock on the wallTicking away"Seize the Day"I heard him sayLife will not always be this wayLook aroundHear the soundsCherish your lifeWhile you're still around

("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)(Old Time is still a-flying;)(And this same flower that smiles today)(Tomorrow will be dying")

We can learnFrom the pastBut those daysAre goneWe can hopeFor the futureBut there might not be one

The words stuck in my mindAlive from what I've learnedI have to seize the dayTo home I returned

Preparing for her flightI held with all my mightFearing my deepest frightShe walked into the nightShe turned for one last lookShe looked me in the eyeI said, "I Love You...Good-bye"

("It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear")("If you're lying to me...")("Oh, you dearly love her")("...just have to leave...)(All our lives")("Seize the day!")("Something happened")("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may")("She was killed")

[IV. The Darkest Of Winters]

[Instrumental]

[V. Another World]

So far or so it seemsAll is lostWith nothing fulfilledOff the pages and theT.V. screenAnother worldWhere nothing's true

Tripping throughThe life fantasticLose a stepAnd never get upLeft aloneWith a cold blank stareI feel like giving up

I was blinded by a paradiseUtopia high in the skyA dream that only drowned meDeep in sorrow, wondering why

Oh come let us adore himAbuse and then ignore himNo matter whatDon't let him beLet's feed upon his miseryThen string him up for all the world to see

I'm sick of allYour hypocritesHolding me at bayAnd I don't needYour sympathyTo get me through the day

Seasons change and so can IHold on BoyNo time to cryUntie these stringsI'm climbing downI won't let them push me away

Oh come let us adore himAbuse and then ignore himNo matter whatDon't let him beLet's feed uponHis miseryNow it's time for themTo deal with me

[VI. The Inevitable Summer]

[Instrumental]

[VII. The Crimson Sunset]

I'm much wiser nowA lifetime of memoriesRun through my headThey taught me howFor better or worseAlive or deadI realizeThere's no turning backLife goes onThe offbeaten track

I sit down with my sonSet to see the Crimson Sunset(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)Many years have come and goneI've lived my life, but now must move on(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)He's my only oneNow that my time has comeNow that my life is doneWe look into the sun"Seize the dayAnd don't you cryNow it's timeTo say good-byeEven thoughI'll be goneI will live onLive on"
