I Have Seen My Soul

(альбом: A Kingdom To Disappear - 2017)

"... Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." [Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900]

People die of common sense, Dorian
One lost moment at a time
There's no hereafter
So make it burn with the hardest flame
Am I to fade?
Am I to share this fate?

I have seen my soul!
It's rotten, black as coal!
For all I see is decay
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of Dorian Gray!

How sad it is. I shall grow old!
If it only were I who's to be always young
And the picture grows old
For that I would give everything
I would give my soul for that
I can assure you
Pleasure is very different from happiness

I have seen my soul!
It's rotten, black as coal!
For all I see is decay
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of Dorian Gray!
