[B. Dickinson/ Roy Z./ A. Smith] [Accident of birth-sessions, 1997] "Recording all of the above and some of the below" Love is over like it never began Flicker of life, the candle in his hand Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind For this prize he traveled in his mind Who is guilty, who decides Who took her life, who gained a prize Love is cheap, life's a lie What kind of man would do this to his friend Hand caressed, squeezed her life away Slide into the darkness, the end of the day Swallowed with the black, cover the light To the fire, to the night Love is over like it never began Flicker of life, the candle in his hand The queen is dying, dying and loved Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind, unravel Now with his prize he'd slide into the forest beyond You're alone, alone...forever Alone forever Alone forever He's gonna be alone forever Alone forever
