Tygers Of Pan Tang - The Actor lyrics

You thought you were the master of your life You thought you had it all worked out But times have changed and days don't seem so sweet Don't let the floor drop out from your world The lights go on and the story seems so old You've seen this on T.V. so many times But now you are the actor living out the role There's no cameras there, no script to keep the hero whole (Chorus) You are the actor The lights upon the stage You are the actor The encores never came And when your brothers lie in pieces on the ground You shed your tears, say you didn't realize And when the righteous pin the medals on your shirt Do you think that God will shake your head? You are the actor The curtains never closed You are the actor The story's never told You are the actor You're living on the role You are the actor
