lyrics

Once there was a man who walked the Earth as though he was it's owner.
He didn't know his past, but he believed his future should be perfect.

I would wake up every morning and try to remember.
Living in the memories' twilight makes me cold and cynical.

He had everything he wanted.
He had everything he needed.
Nothing else to gain.
Just another portion of hate.
Still there was a problem.
The only thing he couldn't buy
Was the time.
We cannot turn back time.

I have everything I wanted.
I have everything I needed.
Nothing else to gain.
Just another portion of hate.
Still there is a problem.
The only thing I can't buy
Is the time.
We cannot turn back time.

Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads to nothing but the grief.

He couldn't stand it anymore and tried to search for the answers.
He had to know his past, and he believed the key was on the surface.

The meaning of my existence, the meaning of it all.
Soon I found out. The great discovery of my life.

The only thing we can't buy
Is the time.
What a shame.
No-one can play god.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads nowhere.

You have to obey the rules.
You have to obey the rules.
You can pick the game.
But you can not change the rules.

I ask myself, same question every morning.
What is the key to our creation?
Am I real, or just a code?
Psychological torment, our fate's left unknown.

This is what we have.
This is what we know.
This is what it's all about.
This is how it works.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads nowhere.

This is what we have.
This is what we know.
I turn the last page
Of the book.
Was it worth it?
To destroy everyone,
To create the path,
That leads to nothing.
