Waiting in the wings
Your courage sings before you falter
It's just another way to say
What's there but never shows.

It's just another day to lay
Your sins before the altar.
And where it's going to end this time around
Nobody knows.

Every time it seems that you
Have gained an understanding
Those devils at your heels
Reach up and try to tip the scales.

Waking from a dream
You see it's all been done without you.
And every vain attempt to make it stay
Is destined to fail.

Fury rages through your restless days
Shades of time that's gone before
Empty cages where the prisoner plays
'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore...

Long before we come of
Age we yearn to leave the garden
And wrestle with a myth
The hand of fate has faintly drawn.

But somewhere on the way
We feel our hearts begin to harden
And see just as we learn to turn around
The garden is gone.

Fury rages through your restless days
Shades of time that's gone before
Empty cages where the prisoner plays
'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore...
