The curtain rises on your final scene
There's not a single dry eye in the hall
With a swell of applause, you drop to your knees

Oh how they love to watch you fall

And suddenly your fortess begins closing in

And no one is around to hear your cries
And suddenly your life begins to flash before your eyes
Do you live on or do you die?


The curtain drops as you're carried away
And now the crowd begins to leave

You gave the performance of your life
Now you're just a fading memory


And suddenly your fortess begins closing in
And no one is around to hear your cries
And suddenly your life begins to flash before your eyes

Do you live on or do you die?

Now your curtains will never be drawn

And everything you loved is gone
Floating endlessly across the great abyss
Another dim marquee no one will miss


And suddenly your fortess begins closing in
And no one is around to hear your cries

And suddenly your life begins to flash before your eyes
Do you live on or do you die?
