Jaded Songtext
von Mortanius

On and on I seem to wander
Down this road I′ve tread many times before
No longer can recall the reasons why I'm here
Purpose unclear, yeah

Memories blur, one like another
Losing count of all the years left behind
Everything′s turned to gray
The light has gone away
Joy in decay

Long ago, there was a time this wasn't so
Dreams, they were so real
Sensations you could feel
Innocence, each day a new experience
Open eyes and endless skies

But the cold advance of time
Tarnishes the brightest jewel
When the rush is gone
The same old song is sung over and over again


Why, the fire has died
Passion crucified
Not a spark can ignite
To this cynical view
Captivated, now worn and jaded
Oh, the flowers, they fade
What has cast this shade?
All the colors unmade
So the winds of time blow
Plans created are devastated
Grass beneath my fingers
A fragrant breeze, a distant dream
Enshrined in my memory

Those days I can't recreate, only consecrate
It′s always been too late
The hole that is left inside
Nothing can refill
Not a drug or thrill
Poor replacements for what never will
Be captured again
(Repetition, days on end)
(Time is passing, wearing thin)
(All excitement withers, wanes)
(As everything becomes mundane)
(Foolish young naivety)
(Hopes and dreams are lead astray)
(Disenchanted, spent and warm)
(A jaded mind, weary of life)


Why, the fire has died
Passion crucified
Not a spark can ignite
To this cynical view
Captivated, now worn and jaded
Oh, the flowers, they fade
What has cast this shade?
All the colors unmade
So the winds of time blow
Plans created are devastated

Why, the fire has died
Passion crucified
Not a spark can ignite
To this cynical view
Captivated, now worn and jaded

Oh, they′re dying
The flowers fade and all the colors unmade
