lyrics

The Reality
(The good days are gone)

We're looking straight ahead at something we won't see
living in a constant state of might-have-been
We heard it all before, they told us many times
We knew it anyway but now it's sinking in
The good days are gone

The enemy is time
it's written on the brow of every passing face
Commuters on a train
the sparkle in their eyes reflection of displays
The good days are gone

And yet – bear with me now...

„Come on Alex, move your ass
the weathers fine and you're still free!“
Your optimism feeds on the probability
that you won't live to see
Death has lost his romance and appeal
but still merits a song
You hear it in my voice when I repeat:
The good days are gone

Bear with me we had our time
Bear with me now count the days now
so many are gone

And we dream ourselves away to the days that never were
and I dream myself to death for the days that will not come -
The good days are gone
The work has begun...

"Life is a black abyss". But ironically some dreams coming true after all. I remember I've been trying to dig up the authors of this music led me through the darkest times of my life having "Psalm" on my mind. Since then, the band came from shadows of the underground (at least for several people) and now, three years past, I have a pleasure to listen to these significant songs in quality they deserve. Long afterlife to the Kings. They were born to reign our minds, you just didn't know it yet! Bloody Paul
