Theatre Of Fate - Viper

The crowd came to silence

The spotlights are shining

A tale has to be told


In any age

All the world is a stage

A play will now begin


There once was a child

With a dream in his mind

And a thousand things to learn


But with each passing day

His childhood sleeps away

How soon the first act ends


All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life


Now the child is a boy

And new dreams have evolved

He strives to make them real


Not the fear in his heart

Nor a past full of pain

Will take away his hope


But how cruel life is

And although he resists

New problems will appear


So he'll loose one more chance

Time destroys all his plans

The second act is done


All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life


We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same


And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never end


But our fate is in command


Now the boy is a man

Though his visions remain

He knows they have no chance


A heart full of hate

All his hope driven away

Life's worn down his defence


How many lives

In the world born and die

In disillusionment


Not allowed to have dreams

And one day make'em real

This tale will never end


All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life


We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same


And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never...


We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same


And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never end


But our fate is in command

But our fate is in command

But our fate is in command
