Still Dreaming

[Intro: Distant electric guitar feedback, soft piano chords, heartbeat drum kick] [Verse 1] The sand’s slipping through my fingers, the minutes are cold, The sunset behind me is stripping the stories of old. Our friends slowly melt in the haze of the years passing by, And old mirrors reflect a new light from a different sky. We built up our castles, but time has no mercy for stone, And what felt like granite has turned into dust and is gone. [Pre-Chorus: Guitar starts to chug, bass guitar build-up] All that we’ve gathered is burning in vanity’s fire, Everything turns into ash as we reach the last wire... [Chorus: Epic Arena Rock, powerful vocals, heavy drums, soaring guitar melody] Everything goes — but not the dreams! They shine in the midnight, much brighter than gasoline beams. Let seconds beat hard in our temples, let storms roar ahead, A dream is the only lighthouse to find where we’re led. The flesh may decay and the time wipes our names from the wall, But spring in our souls will forever respond to the call! [Verse 2] Don't fear any loss, it is just like the autumn’s attire, Don't let the old sorrows burn you with lead and with fire. As long as this ghostly light lives in the heart of your chest, For those who still dream, there’s no silence and no final rest. So spread out your wings o'er the ashes of hopes that grew cold, The world will be crystal and clear... and as bright as of old. [Bridge: High-energy melodic guitar solo, emotional shredding, stadium applause feel] [Outro: Big drum finish, then sudden drop to soft acoustic guitar] Everything goes... But they never die... The dreams... Keep your fire high. [Ending: Final power chord with reverb tail]
