Woods Of Ypres - Modern Life Architecture lyrics

[Verse 1] When we're young, we design a plan, we work, we build, we make it real And in the moment it becomes complete, The first cracks start to appear A weak foundation, finally revealed In the desperation, when the walls came tumbling down [Chorus] Oh, In my prime - Oh, never to return Oh, as I once was - A broken man, Living half a life... (without you...) On the path to recovery, As a sign of the times, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned, On the steps of a modern life [Verse 2] In defeat we redesign the plan, and we give it just one more chance As we take another deep breath, and prepare for the worst, again A life in crisis, is always threatened by time For the longer it takes to be restored... The less likely it is to occur [Chorus] Oh, In my prime - Oh, never to return Oh, as I once was- A broken man, Living all alone... (without you...) On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned, On the steps of a modern life On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned with you, On the steps of a modern life [Bridge] There is always hope, of course, that one day, we will rise again But this modern life architecture, Is crumbling, under the weight of the world
