Vienna

Since I was a child
 I've seen her in a dream
 A captured fairytale
 That echoes cross my life
 And though I've courted her
 She's always stayed unseen
 Now all at once she
 Glitters in the night
 ♪
 But that was yesterday
 And that all was before
 When she was far away
 A silhouette of dreams
 But others whispered
 That she was so much more
 And suddenly I now
 Know what they mean
 ♪
 Dreams change
 Years strains
 Lost illusions
 Last stands
 God's hand
 Absolution
 Found
 ♪
 Fairytale sins
 Visions by Grimm
 All forgiven
 Lives spent in vain
 Never reclaimed
 Take their final bows
 ♪
 Pictures and words
 Visions absurd
 Maddened poets
 All within sight
 Failure in life
 Who'll never know it
 Lazarus cries
 There in his eye
 Hope has risen
 Depth and facade
 All before me now
