Modern Life Architecture lyrics

When were young, we design a plan, we work, we build, we make it real And in the moment it becomes complete, the first cracks start to appear A weak foundation, finally revealed In the desperation, when the walls came tumbling down Oh, in my prime - oh, never to return Oh, as i once was - a broken man, living half a life... (without you...) On the path to recovery, as a sign of the times, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned, on the steps of a modern life In defeat we redesign the plan, and we give it just one more chance As we take another deep breath, and prepare for the worst, again A life in crisis, is always threatened by time For the longer it takes to be restored... The less likely it is to occur. Oh, in my prime - oh, never to return Oh, as i once was- a broken man, living all alone... (without you...) On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned, on the steps of a modern life On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned with you, on the steps of a modern life There is always hope, of course, that one day, we will rise again But this modern life architecture, is crumbling, under the weight of the world
