The ceiling fades the night comes near
Footsteps of memories I tried to bury in fear
Faces returning from worlds I denied
All of my victories hollow inside

Was I blind was I strong
Did I know it all along

Tell me now before I go
Was there meaning in the roles I chose
If my spirit leaves tonight
Will I vanish from the light
God I'm standing at the door
Are you there or nothing more

Promises scattered like ashes in rain
I carried the crown but escaped from the pain
Time was a thief wearing my name
I built an empire of blame

Was it truth was it pride
Did I run away or hide

Tell me now before I go
Was there meaning in the roles I chose
If my spirit leaves tonight
Will I vanish from the light
God I'm standing at the door
Are you there or nothing more

Silence louder than prayer
Shadows breathing the final air

Tell me now before I fade
All the deals I never made
If my heart stops in the dark
Will a fire leave a spark
God I'm falling evermore
Are you there or nothing more
