The night is drawing on but all the strain not told on him

And he won't fall into the sleep of the just

To be a tumbler or a lonesome intruder

He is as good as gold and searching for trust



(be), to be the harlequin who shines in dead gold

To kill those idle thoughts about this stronghold

(see), see the evening star in this sunset glow

Sailing the splendour ships straight on the port bow



(pre-chorus)

Strike the sands of ever

The lingering sound of dreams

In harsh reality

Turn over a new leaf

Ardently desired

And forever



(chorus)

(shine), it fired his imagination so far

And he gave rise to hope

(shine), this true ring of conviction will leave a scar

(to) the dancer on a rope

(shine), so where's the difference between man and machine ?

And who will draw the line ?

(shine), the game is worth the candle, always been

May all the ways then shine



Sometimes he's worlds apart and elsewhere lies his dream

And he won't never shift the blame on you

Sometimes a parting kiss speaks louder than action

When life turns suddenly like a bolt from the blue



(he), he's not the silver slave supposed to be

He's on the rise to fame out of this tragedy

(free), so now the odds are even, literally true

There is no limit to it all, there is no taboo



(pre-chorus)

(chorus)



Don't clip those wings of a flying

When wearing your heart on your sleeve

But still there is life among dying

The far cry off and make-believe



In this palatial hallway

Should all be null and void ?

Between the tricks of fortune

In years that he enjoyed

He is the one enigma

High-flown beneath the sun

Is he the last resort ?

When future has begun



(chorus)
