Alesana - Nevermore

Memories saved destined to capture
 decades passing by
 A way to remember
 (We need to remember)

 Moments fade leaving to rejoin
 decades passing by
 Let's savor the present
 But not lose the future

 The shifting sands of time
 Pour from the past
 But you don't know then
 What you hate to now

 I try to argue but I'm not getting through
 Close your eyes and sing along with me
 Relive the memory

 We've been here before and I'm begging for more
 A destination so beautiful I'm speechless

 Idle hands are the devil's playground
 Problem solved
 Get off your ass and pretend that you care
 Nothing will change if we don't stand and fight
 Call us to arms into the night
 If we all take it for granted music soon will die
 It's vanishing slowly, through ignorant madness
 If you see what's wrong take a stand and scream out   loud
 If they want silence then disappoint them all

 I try to argue but I'm not getting through
 Close your eyes and sing along with me
 Relive the memory

 We've been here before and I'm begging for more
 A destination so beautiful I'm speechless
 (I'm speechless)

 A positive mental attitude
 (Dare to put your pen to the page
 Fearlessly imagine your own tale)
 Open doors and we're walking through
 The music survives if we keep the songs alive

 Step inside and relive the dream
 of a young boy who tried to sing
 and managed to fly
 His story should never die

 Idle hands are the devil's playground
 Problem solved
 Get off your ass and pretend that you care
 Nothing will change if we don't stand and fight
 Call us to arms into the night

 With smiles and open arms
 We all embrace the underdog!

 DREAM!

 Dream of a yet unvisited renaissance
 A time when music will shimmer with hope

 I try to argue but I'm not getting through
 Close your eyes but...
 I try to argue but I'm not getting through
 Close your eyes and sing along with me
 Relive the memory

 We've been here before and I'm begging for more
 A destination so beautiful I'm speechless
