As The Pages Are Set Alight

melodic hard rock, 80s sleaze metal, big catchy chorus, heavy guitar riff, big drums, pop rock vocals, clean production

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
Cocaine dreams in a candy store
The girl I love, Mandy, she is a whore
But that's a world where I have no place 
A hero to some, I'm just a word on a page

Living inside a novel I wrote
A tale of love for which I could only hope 
But that fictional place where l often reside
Is not the loneliest place I can choose to hide

[pre chorus]
The echo inside, inside this hollow room
The place I hide, don’t wanna leave too soon

[chorus]
All my life, I live inside a fairytale
I just survive, not sure I got this right 
Back in my life, when I resume my tale 
Now I'm in strife, as the pages are set alight
(Pages are set alight)

[verse 2]
Without remorse, I slay for love 
No fear of condemnation, from above
And in this world, I have no fears 
Time stands still, no wasted years

Living inside the strangest myth 
Alive and well but never really live 
What can I do, what alternate choice? 
How I long to hear an outsider's voice

[pre chorus]
The echo inside, inside this hollow room
The place I hide, don’t wanna leave too soon

[bridge]
Down in flames, the pages burn all around me 
The hero's demise, confined to a trap so solitary
A fitting end, came from out of the blue
The story's over, and now I stand before you

[guitar solo]

[pre chorus]
The echo inside, inside this hollow room
The place I hide, don’t wanna leave too soon

(Pages are set alight)

[pre chorus]
The echo inside, inside this hollow room
The place I hide, don’t wanna leave too soon
