The Shapes of Things to Come Lyrics by Sonne Hagal

Ockerwasser

2014

[Verse 1]
The shapes of things to come
A symphony of sorrowful songs
From the weary essence of things
Rises a new born sun
The shapes of things to come
A symphony of sorrowful songs
From the weary essence of things
Rises a new born sun
[Chorus]
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But, ah my foes and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!
Safe upon the solid rock
The ugly houses stands
Come and see my shining palace
Built upon the sand
[Verse 1]
The secret passion glows
A fresh draught from the font of universal light
The cloudy essеnce of dreams
Within the bеau of aroused Youth
The secret passion glows
A fresh draught from the font of universal light
The cloudy essence of dreams
Within the beau of aroused Youth
[Chorus]
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But, ah my foes and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!
Safe upon the solid rock
The ugly houses stands
Come and see my shining palace
Built upon the sand
[Verse 3]
Reflections of the past
Whoever says the truth shall die!
The unresting essence of love
Ordains: What rises must decline!
Reflections of the past
Whoever says the truth shall die!
The unresting essence of love
Ordains: What rises must decline!
[Chorus]
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But, ah my foes and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!
Safe upon the solid rock
The ugly houses stands
Come and see my shining palace
Built upon the sand
[Outro:]
My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night
But, ah my foes and oh, my friends
It gives a lovely light!
