Do not use the past as an alibi
for all of your deficiencies always standing by.
Face your negligence, do not fool yourself,
shortcomings will soon appear
for weakness shows itself.
Blind from your success and all of the excess,
deaf from the praise you had.
Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through
for I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you.
Blind from your success and all of the excess,
deaf from the praise you had.
In a misty veil, misplaced,
where castles in the air will be no longer seen
as something out of reach.
In time the dream will be erased.
So many things will never be the way they seemed
and pride will have it's fall at last.
Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face,
when she realised that her failures
could never...could never be undone again.
You did not notice the manipulated hand
that overshadowed your thoughts all those years,
that made you insecure.
You did not notice the ancient shifting sand
that pulls you down into an everlasting sham.
You will never be able to fight,
never be able to hide,
run for a fall, you'd better run!
Blind from your success and all of the excess,
deaf from the praise you had.
In a misty veil, misplaced,
where castles in the air will be no longer seen
as something out of reach.
In time the dream will be erased.
So many things will never be the way they seemed
and pride will have it's fall at last.
