So here i am, i'm a man and that little boy
Tied down deep within me
-you have broken your word!

I'm sorry that i bowed once again,
And let the monsters loose
You can't understand it, you can't understand what it's like

The world which we live in
Feel i'm tearing up inside i'm loosing my mind


One look and the clown in the mirror says:
Hi -i'm still here waiting...
And time is no longer on your side


A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...


... and his legacy reigns
But i won't follow you
In the shadows i cry

Closer to heaven i fail

I still remember the words that the little boy

I once was, were told:
Son, order rises from fear!
Oh, how i swore i'd fight what he was

And i'd never be like him
I was such a fool, an ignorant fool to believe
A man can control how he's living out his life

Or change anything

One look and the clown in the mirror says:

Hi -i'm still here waiting...
And time is no longer on your side


A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...

... and his legacy reigns

But i won't follow you
In the shadows i cry
Closer to heaven i fail


So here i am, i'm a man in a cynical world
Filled with compromises

-a tyrant sighs in the mirror
I know now i've been weak and afraid
And turned the other cheek

He knows i can't stand it,
He knows i can't stand that i am a pawn in his puzzle
And still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my past


One look and the clown in the mirror says:
Hi -i'm still here waiting...

And time is no longer on your side

A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...


... and his legacy reigns, but i won't follow him
In the shadows i cry, alone so close to heaven...


... and his legacy reigns
But i won't follow you

In the shadows i cry
Closer to heaven i fail
