Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw - House of Cards lyrics

The old light of dawn All is still The shadows retreat Anger has pa**ed Eyes still weary Sanity prevails Coming 'round but not to your way of thought Your ivory tower pierced those high & mighty clouds A closed circle of friends With the grip of impotent weaklings So alone in your farce of brotherhood The house of cards crumbles Indifference A life long friend A warmth of unique comfort As the cards fall and attitudes change Only time can tell And it will It will Now so still This river of life The rapids pa**ed But never the last Mere ripples on the apathy you kindled The river's strength lies far from the banks Perfection is for dreamers The self-righteous fools And when their dream dies What then will they have? A hand that claws the air And a heart filled with misery Your forethought Life mapped out I've no time for your ambitious career As rays of sunlight awaken the sleeper The light breaks through, eyes open with a start Only the sands of time know the morrow The past is pa**ed, and my eyes see the dawn that is new
