Standing on the Ruin of a Beautiful Empire Lyrics

This is a code embedded in prose
Shadow and rhyme
the heart will be beat in time.
Hidden in words the meaning obscured
Scream for your life
they wont take me in line.
We will rise up, rise up
eyes on the horizon.
This is the road the path that I chose
In subliminal verse a manifesto.
We will rise up, rise up
eyes on the horizon.

I'm never gonna fall asleep
I'm never gonna waste a dream again, yeah
I'm never gonna be born
I'm never gonna grow up again, oh yeah
I'm never gonna fall in love, ooh, ooh
I'm never gonna fall alone, woah.

This is the life,
this is the life for me
This is the life,
this is the life for me
Standing on the ruin of a beautiful empire
Staring through the eyes of a Bernini sculpture.
This is the time,
this is the time for me
This is the time,
this is the time for me
Melancholy vision my own musical fracture
Listen to the light and melodically capture.
This is the life,
this is the life for me
This is the life,
this is the life for me
Fall into the pallet of a secret lost fresco
Hide behind the crochet on the manuscript paper.
I'm never gonna fall asleep
I'm never gonna waste a dream again, yeah
I'm never gonna be born
I'm never gonna grow up again, oh yeah
I'm never gonna fall in love, ooh, ooh
I'm never gonna fall alone, woah...
I'm never gonna fall asleep
I'm never gonna waste a dream again, yeah
I'm never gonna be born
I'm never gonna grow up again, oh yeah
I'm never gonna fall in love, ooh, ooh
I'm never gonna fall alone, woah...

I'm never gonna fall asleep (Ooh)
I'm never gonna waste a dream again, yeah
I'm never gonna waste a dream, woah.
