lyrics

Let’s turn it back
This nightmare made
Memories will never fade
Diamond lies that ripped apart
Wishes from a twisted heart
Shards of truth
Like broken glass
A twisted dream
That never passed
Silver threads
Upon the ground
Lost hopes could not be found

A twisted dream
To hear the screams
Of a million aching men
He held himself with rhetoric
The nightmare soon began
A twisted dream
To be supreme
To rule a million men
He held himself
With bold deceit
The truth begins to bend
Let’s turn it forward
This dream’s been made
Recollection begins to fade
Lucid truth brings a fresh start
Wishes that warm the heart
Pernicious lies corrode like glass
Falsehoods will never pass
Old souls are never bound
Take a dagger onto this clown

A twisted dream
To hear the screams
Of a million aching men
He held himself with rhetoric
The nightmare soon began
A twisted dream
To be supreme
To rule a million men
He held himself
With bold deceit
The truth begins to bend

Let’s turn it back
This nightmare made
Memories will never fade
Diamond lies that ripped apart
Wishes from a twisted heart
Shards of truth
Like broken glass
A twisted dream
That never passed
Silver threads
Upon the ground
Lost hopes could not be found

A twisted dream
To hear the screams
Of a million aching men
He held himself with rhetoric
The nightmare soon began
A twisted dream
To be supreme
To rule a million men
He held himself
With bold deceit
The truth begins to bend
