Magic Pie - In Memoriam lyrics

Old man you know the path to go No one can flee his fate or destiny Escape life's grim reality He takes the stairs down to his hidden kingdom Where puppets and clows bow to their lord of dreams Who lived a lie or so it seems A big collection carved from marble, stone or wood His life's work - now soon to be forgotten Just one Piece to go! His claim to fame to keep His name up high - it should!Oh.. how his Fingers have bled, to fulfill his dream That for a long time - already is...dead! He flirts with his drink, Burns out another f*g And he sighs with a smile.. Funny how the worries Fade with each and every drag you take Empty Pockets, Hollow scheme Nothing left but a broken dream.. Oh,Human stain - life's decay.. At the end of the day With shacky hands he holds the knife. He knows he should And he would - leave another marking on the table For one last masterpiece of marble, stone or wood Oh, but he's cold and he's conscious somehow - that if time Will allow.. tonight he must take his last bow! You live shy of life - is it worth the strive.. This obscure waste of time? Oh, remember my name, I was the master of the game! You've neglected love - and to God above That goes down as your crime! Oh, I tried to stand tall - I plead guilty to it all Now the curtain must fall! We're gathered here in faith, God fear to witness and share Our next of kin, now freed from sin. No more to lay bare From life He shied, no tears were cried as we witnessed his fall Old man you lived just as you died..alone! Now your free - FREE FROM IT ALL... What is life and what is d**h? Are We just paws in someone's game of chess? Is it all an illusion.. a far forbidden dream? Is God the maker of this complex scheme? Am I his decoy through my suffering joy?
