Lingering strong is my dream of greatness
A history that had its day, came and went
Broken bones and broken hearts will make it true
All that left is here again and the rest's arriving soon

With trembling hands I raised it up for all to see
Just what we'd done towards a new breed
Wretched dreams and endless schemes
I need a miracle, we need a miracle

A purity that's bound to dwindle
A poor attempt to rekindle what was lost
