[Verse 1]
When we're 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
