Shock disbelief stained the blackest of mornings
Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world
Life was an emotional knife
It cut the flesh, it hit the bone, it made reality a web of lies
Life was a perpetual high
Up on the wire without a net, he couldn't balance so he took a dive
When vegas called he got the message far away
They begged this worn out king to play
The mighty fall, inside the measure of the day
It's pitiful, it's all in vain
Life and its unbearable fire
The night his mother passed away, he poured his soul into her funeral pyre
Life, through unforgettable eyes
For though he tried to face the dark, he lost the battle but he never dies
He had it all somehow he let it slip away
Much of his death is unexplained
Now just a memory shines out beyond the grave
Remembers all that now remains
