Inishmore - The Theatre Of My Life: Act II: Theatre Of My Life lyrics

rate me

Total darkness fills now the room, <br />

The curtain will surely open soon, <br />

And as they do I can clearly see<br />

A man and woman entering the scene.<br />

A flood of words surround me like a wave.<br />

No time, nor space, just eternity feels safe, <br />

And the words carry me down to the abyss of my soul<br />

A third man is now entering the stage<br />

And it seemed I knew him for an age.<br />

I don't know much but I surely know his role.<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

The Theatre of my life, <br />

Life is dancing, passing by in front of my eyes.<br />

Theatre of my life, <br />

Like a shadow, from the past that I left behind<br />

Theatre of my life<br />

I already know this whole play<br />

I saw it before but where I can't say<br />

<br />

One of those real famous dramas it might be.<br />

But for sure it meant more than this to me.<br />

Scene for scene, <br />

Word for word, <br />

To the stage I'm starting to gaze.<br />

Breath for breath, <br />

Line for line, <br />

The play finally is showing it's face.<br />

Just as the leading actor is standing in front of a sign.<br />

I realise the play they are showing is mine.<br />

It's me, my life, <br />

My words, my sins<br />

That they are showing on stage! <br />

My thoughts, my past, <br />

My loves, my crimes<br />

They opened a secret cage! <br />

All my desires, all my own history, <br />

Was for no one else but now they all can see... <br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

Tears are slowly filling my eyes.<br />

Silence took the upper hand to my lasting cries.<br />

The vague memory of a reality, <br />

Is lost in the wake of my insanity.<br />

Not only what I've done, <br />

Not only the victories I have won, <br />

But all those little things when you wished others were blind<br />

Are being brought to our minds! <br />

Not only what I felt, <br />

Not only who I held, <br />

But also who I hurt with my stupid stubbornness, <br />

Is being brought back and nothing less! <br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

The past that I have known, the future they have shown, <br />

I can't take anymore, trying to search for the door, <br />

In my locked mind! I'm stumbling through the aisle, <br />

Knowing the play's about to end, and soon destiny will be at hand
