Tales of Perdition - Behind the Lights (Where the Dream Will Die Tonight) Lyrics

You came to us, your dreams abound
Your heart so filled with hope
Moved by desire, the fire inside
It sang its grateful note

You joined the ride, this great first light
It glistened in your eyes
So when was it, you realised
It's a circus of lies

Why did you, look behind, the lights
(Saw the dream collapse tonight)
When did you, realise, this night
(Saw your dream collapse tonight)
You've been left all alone
Feeling lost, no one home
Only those behind the lights know
(Where the dream will die tonight)

You lead your charge, so endlessly
Following the crowd
The darkness fell, the wanderer blind
The screaming heard aloud

Of all the dreams, which lead you
To the greatest of the hurt
Was it not the fable of it all
That left you in the dirt?

Why did you, look behind, the lights
(Saw the dream collapse tonight)
When did you, realise, this night
(Saw your dream collapse tonight)
You've been left all alone
Feeling lost, no one home
Only those behind the lights know
(Where the dream will die tonight)

Why did you, look behind, the lights
(Saw the dream collapse tonight)
When did you, realise, this night
(Saw your dream collapse tonight)
In the end all is done
Everything falls to none
If only you knew the dawn
(Where the dream will die tonight)

Where the dream will die tonight
