The Worlds We Once Knew... Lyrics

In youth, there's creation, discovery anew
In dreams, a fantasy in all that we do
Worlds developed with future ahead
No concern, toward that future we fled
But with age, the dreams no longer remembered
Lost, plagued, hope quickly dismembered
The wonder now lost to reality
No time for the past's simplicity

The worlds we once knew all fade away
The memories that we hold fade all the same
The dreams of our youth, we leave behind
The visions of the past are all lost to time

Awakening from a dream of tomorrow
Reality reveals there's no path to follow
With no truth in sight, we've ruined creation
Emptiness has left a senseless sensation
Losing ourselves to despondency
A void consuming all that we need
Vacuous, eternal, crushing all that we do
The worlds we once knew dwindle from view

The worlds we once knew all fade away
The memories that we hold fade all the same
The dreams of our youth, we leave behind
The visions of the past are all lost to time

As life takes, as life breaks down around us
We stand firm in our past, in our truth, in the worlds we once knew
