[I. The Crimson Sunrise]

[Instrumental]

[II. Innocence]

I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined What It Might find
Life WAS filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I Must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's
snow Innocence caressing me

I never felt so young Before There Was
so much life in me Still I longed
to search for more

But Those Days are gone now Changed like a leaf
on a tree Blown away forever

Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
With the last of my might

In my den of inequity
Viciousness and subtlety
Struggle to ease the pain
Struggle to find the same

Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near...

[III. Carpe Diem]

\Will Not Always Be This Way
Look around

Hear the sounds Cherish your life While you're still around


("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
(Old Time is still a-flying;)
(And this Same flower That smiles today)
(Tomorrow Will Be Dying ")


We Can Learn From the Past
But Those Days Are Gone

We Can Hope For the Future

But There Might Not Be one The words stuck


in my mind Alive from what I've Learned
i have to seize the day To home I returned



Preparing for her flight I held with all my Might

Fearing my Deepest fright She Walked into the night She Turned

strings I'm climbing down I will not let
Them

push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and

Then ignore him
No Matter What Do not let him Be
Let's feed upon His misery

Now it's time for
Them To deal with

me [VI. The Inevitable Summer]

[Instrumental]

[VII. The Crimson Sunset] I'm much wiser


now A lifetime of memories Run
Though my head

They Taught me how For Better or Worse

Alive or dead I realize There's no turning
back

The Life goes on Offbeat

track I sit down with my son Set to see the
Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
