[Intro]
(spoken)
"What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough, for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams."
[Instrumental Break]
(spoken)
"We all have some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects and circumstances - of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remembered it."
[Verse 1]
Oh, spirits of the night
Communicate with me
Their visions of a future
Of what is yet to be
[Pre-Chorus]
As I see the way I die
And I try to change it
I am running short of time
I'll just sit here waiting
[Chorus A]
'Til the moment comes around
Like I've been here once before
And I'm questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu
[Interlude] (spoken)
"There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is passing around you, than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed, and your senses wrapt in perfect unconsciousness."
"Dreams are real, while they last. Can we say more of life?"
[Verse 2]
If I could harness this power
Assume absolute control
Of my visions from a future
No one will ever know
[Pre-Chorus]
That I've seen the day you die
And I tried to change it
You are running short of time
You'll just sit there waiting
[Chorus A]
'Til the moment comes around
Like you've been there once before
And you're questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu
'Til the moment comes around
Like you've been there once before
And there's nothing left to lose
No escaping déjà vu
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 1]
Faces become
Strangely familiar
Stumbling upon
Traces of my visions
Now I see a shadow of a man, in my silhouette he stands
The wisdom of my premonition comes to life!
I was just a kid back then, but now I'm back to take revenge!
I sternly look my killer in the eye
I'm out for satisfaction, when I'm suddenly distracted
By the silent cries that echo in the streets
My finger pulls the trigger, with my whole life left to figure
If the boy I accidentally killed was me
Voices become
Strangely deceiving
Gravity's pull
Has zero effect on me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus B]
Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Only now I face the truth
I will have to wait no more
[Bridge 2]
Will this never end?
I've been through enough
This is the part where I wake up
With blood on my hands
Traveling back to where it all began
As for the boy
It pleased me to know
That he'll just wake up nine years old
Alone and afraid
He'll live for the day this moment comes around again
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus B]
Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Even now I know the truth
I accept my fate no more
[Bridge 3]
I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam
I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam (Ha-ha!)
I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam (Ah!)
I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam
I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning, I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam
I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning, I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam
Over the edge
I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning, I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights before my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam
Falling in and out of time
I bet you don't remember me
(Scenes from someone else's lifetime)
From the beginning, I never dreamt I was the killer
I guess you won't forget the only way to go
(Flash like bright lights in my eyes)
When there is nowhere left to roam
[Chorus C]
Yeah, the moment passed us by
And it felt just like before
As I leave this world behind
I know I'll come back for more
[Instrumental Outro]
