A silent awe, a thrill of joy All eyes upon the eager boy An eerie hush, they let it in Released the beast and let the game begin While prancing to the overture He knew what he was meant to do And so he stabbed it in the back And realized, his tragic friend was dead Utopia, Utopia, where a hero´s meant to shine But a beggar´s left behind Utopia, Utopia, where the frantic quest for peace Only leads into disease Ohh... With time the boy became a man And there was blood upon his hands By day adored as demigod But nights, his inner demons walked abroad The deadly dance of man and beast Demoralized him piece by piece He feard the day he´d be remiss When finally he´d meet his nemesis SongtexteUtopia, Utopia, where a hero´s meant to shine But a beggar´s left behind Utopia, Utopia, where the frantic quest for peace Only leads into disease Ohh... He knew his life was built on sand When it all got out of hand And the crowd, they showed no mercy And so he tried to suit their needs Stumbling, wholly drugged with sleep On the road, the road to ruin Now there he lay, so frail and weak Recalled a life, so bittersweet And as his foe eclipsed hie skies He saw a touch of goodness in its eyes Utopia, Utopia, where a hero´s meant to shine But a beggar´s left behind Utopia, Utopia, where the frantic quest for peace Only leads into disease Ohh... Utopia, Utopia, where a beggar died alone, Now a hero´s coming home Utopia, Utopia, and the cheering fades away And a silence comes to stay (Dank an Vanessa für den Text) Aus Songtexte Mania
