If these be our halcyon days
What can we hope to find?
Will our future years
Be washed with tears
Of a fate that's sealed inside?
For now, we can but sail the ship
Steady as she goes
Avoid the rocks, the hidden sharks
The icy winds that blow
Steady as she goes
But you know we sail without a destination
And one by one we fade away
Like the memories we've made
And who says time can make this easier?
Don't we all long for yesterday?
Oh no, no
So the story goes
Oh no, no
So the story goes
Look how the world seems colder now
As we stumble to concede
That the lies and creeps of hypocrisy
Will outlive the air we breathe
If only I could find the will
To take the mighty to the broken ones
Say if your deeds were fair
Justify them there
To the daughters and the sons
Of the injustice you have done
But you know I sail without a destination
And in the end I'll fade away
Like the memories we've made
So who says time can make this easier?
Don't we all long for our yesterdays?
Oh no, no
So the story goes
Oh no, no
So the story goes

You know I don't believe
That all the things I read
I just can't trust the meaning
This is all a theater play
But there's no plot or lines to say
We're just the actors for one season
Hold on, holding on today
There's nothing left to say to you
Hold on, waiting for a change of days
There's nothing left to say
So I joined the passion play
Hiding in the masquerade
Careful not to give myself away
(Don't give yourself away)
How wonderfully we play our parts
Upon the stage of hidden hearts
The final twist yet to be unveiled
Hold on, holding on today
There's nothing left to say to you
Hold on, waiting for a change of days
There's nothing left to say
ย
Time hides the years inside
All the lies, close your eyes
I remember once I walked behind
(Time hides the years inside)
Black out a funeral line
All the lies, close your eyes
My face reflected in the glass
And I noticed I looked dignified
(Time hides the years inside)
Ennobled by the tears I cried
All the lies, close your eyes
I turned my face towards the mass
Hold on, holding on today
There's nothing left to say to you
Hold on, hold on, holding on, holding on
There's nothing left, nothing left to sayDeath
On the skyline, bombs at the bus stop
She's in the terrace a thousand miles away
Little Lady Lilyfoot, gentle as a snowdrop
She'll blow your head off if you get in her way
ย
If you get in her way
ย
Jesus in a moneybag crosses at the gift shop
Salvation or redemption, pay for what you need
Actors in the pulpits preying on the sinners
Stigmatic revelation, did you see the statue bleed?
Theatre of the absurd
Is the strangest truth you've ever heard
A gunman with a jury for the children of the ghetto
A bullet in the kneecap should help them understand
"Do as we say, don't do as we do"
Say all the little Hitlers with their tin-pot plans
Theatre of the absurd
Is the strangest truth you've ever heard
Theatre of the absurd
(The faces of the dead are here)
Is the strangest truth you've ever heard
(With an aimless, faceless, dream to fear)
"We have time to grow old
The air is full of our cries
As the night of the grave and a difficult birth
Down in the hold, the grave-digger puts on the forceps
We have time to grow old
The air is full of our cries"
