Fleur De La Lune: January 2008

“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Imagination runs wild

Morale flees from adversaries

The Word dates the World

In the sly manoeuvre of a sophistication.

Lyrics from Kit Chan -> Forbidden City

Is this what eyes were never meant to see

The end of hope and all it meant to me

How can I find the strength to carry on another day

Without my pride there's nothing left to say

Is this the way my life was meant to be?

Too late only to say that I was wrong

Perhaps the weak believe that they are strong

I thought that if I tried I'd find a way to earn their trust

Yet all I've known and loved has turned to dust

It seemed there was no way I could belong

The fire that burns within your heart

The pain that tears your life apart

The rain that falls from broken skies

The love I lost beneath the lies

And must I face the truth along?

Is this the end of all I've known?

The years I gave, the tears I cried

Why dream of love, when love has died?

I know one day the story will be told

And in the end the secrets will be sold

And will they look at me and say

I should have known the end

Perhaps I did but why should I pretend?

I only dreamt of love and growing old
