Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons VII: The Crimson Sunset lyrics

[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Mike Portnoy]

I'm much wiser now

A lifetime of memories

Run through my head

They taught me how

For better or worse

Alive or dead

I realize

There's no turning back

Life goes on

The offbeaten 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

"Seize the day

And don't you cry

Now it's time

To say good-bye

Even though

I'll be gone

I will live on

Live on"
