Start of an era - the end of the line
Uncontrolable - in his prime
The paperboys delivered as always on time
Man of illusions - such genious mind
Soldier of fortune - one of a kind
Read all about it - the headlines would spell
A nation in the shadow of the angel that fell

No matter what everyone seems to believe
We do things in order to feed our material greed
We are born, we grow up and we want to move on
So everyone seems to reach for the sun
So easy to be fooled and a part of the run
We need to bring forward what we need to survive..

You say I am illusive, you call me insane
Claim that the system will always sustain
Good prospects, law & order, who's order?
I pity your system! I pity your law!
The rule is simple, you read as you saw
So, listen you fools
You pathetic-misguided old mules
Learn to live - live to learn...

No matter what everyone seems to believe
We do things in order to feed our material greed
We are born, we grow up and we want to move on
So everyone seems to reach for the sun
So easy to be fooled and a part of the run
We need to bring forward what we need to survive
We need to bring forward what we need to survive

Now it has come to the time when it's time
For good-byes.. And that's all right
It's time to move on - accept what is done
And that's.. That's all right!

No matter what everyone seems to believe
We do things in order to feed our material greed
We are born, we grow up and we want to move on
So everyone seems to reach for the sun
So easy to be fooled and a part of the run
We need to bring forward what we need to survive
We need to bring forward what we need to survive

Now it has come to the time when it's time
For good-byes.. And that's all right
And it's time to move on - accept what is done
And that's.. That's all right!

In my dreams I have seen
A mysterious gleam
Past the horizon and beyond
And I am sailing away
On an endless ocean
This is the end of the line
Now I am free - eternally...
