The Fire of Change

Ghostly memories of a life that was to be
Mostly full of joy and free from misery
But high tide came and washed your castles to the sea
Landslide - all you know is now in jeopardy

Sands of time are falling on me now
I thought I could hold them back somehow
Is this where I start to fade away?
Thousand years seem just like yesterday

Some are looking to the sky
Searching for some light
Shaman praying for some rain
Bringing on the night
Wolves are waiting at your door
They know who's to blame
Limelight the darkest hour
Face the fire of change
Face the fire of change

Whispers - You can't be too sure
Of what they say
Strangers - all those friends
You thought were here to stay
This year somehow you can't help
But feel betrayed
One tear - sadness for the time
That's passed away

Sands of time are falling on me now
I thought I could hold them back somehow
Is this where I start to fade away?
Thousand years seem just like yesterday

Some are looking to the sky
Searching for some light
Madmen dancing on their graves
Bringing on the night
Trusted ones you thought you knew
Bring new kinds of pain
Everyone's a stranger now
Face the fire of change
Face the fire of change

Changes - all your memories
Slowly fade to gray
Phases - your tomorrows seem
To drift away
One day time will turn you to a refugee
But someday winds of change will blow
And set you free

Some are looking to the sky
Searching for some light
Madmen dancing on their graves
Bringing on the night
Fools with lawyers gather 'round
Handing out new names
Everywhere's a foreign land
Face the fire of change
Face the fire of change
