Fates Warning - Monument lyrics

there's a blind desire there's a drive

there's a need to leave some lasting feat

something to hold, something to keep

a monument to complete

there's a written page there's a book

there's a search for something to say

something to share, something to speak

a monument to convey

is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just a profession

is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just an obsession

there's a photograph there's a frame

there's a time, a moment to confine

something to save, something to see

a monument to enshrine

is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just a profession

is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just an obsession

there's an empty room there's a blank page

there's a picture left incomplete

something is lost, something remains

a monument to defeat

is it fiction, is it confession

is it passion or just a profession

is it performance, is it expression

is it passion or just an obsession
