The path is dark, the light is out
The curtain is down on my life
This is my final bow
This is the final act
The play is over and everyone in the crowd is gone
As quiet as I am
I could almost be the ghost of myself
To leave behind the ones who love me
Is something that I cannot stand
I wish to live
To live and see
The things that are yet to be seen
Rise up and let it shine
Because there is no tomorrow
With open heart and eyes ablaze
I gaze into the eyes of death
As quiet as I am
I could be the ghost of myself
Hidden somewhere within my mind
Into my dreamer's hideaway
Little hideaways for our lonely soul
With open heart and eyes ablaze
I gaze into the eyes of death
As quiet as I am
The beautiful that lies within
And the innocence of a child
Imagination that goes beyond mortal things
Those are the memories that you will keep of me
The love of a father
I give you the ghost of myself
A sacrifice for all
I give you the ghost of myself
With open heart and eyes ablaze
I gaze into the eyes of death
As quiet as I am
I could be the ghost of myself
Hidden somewhere within my mind
Into my dreamer's hideaway
Little hideaways for our lonely soul
With open heart and eyes ablaze
I gaze into the eyes of death
As quiet as I am
As quiet as they are
For you I have
And for you I will
From life to death
My spirit will remain
I have written the story of my life
With the things I've done
Just remember my song...
Turn the page, burn the book and let it die
Memories they will finally collapse
Live your life
As your own
No rules to restrain the melodies of life
