dark passion play Bye Bye Beautiful

[Evi 1960]

"Bye Bye Beautiful"

 

Finally the hills are without eyes

They are tired of painting a dead man’s face red

With their own blood

 

They used to love having so much to lose

Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

 

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don’t you see

You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

 

Bye bye beautiful

 

Jacob’s ghost for the girl in white

Blindfold for the blind

Dead siblings walking the dying earth

 

Noose around a choking heart

Eternity torn apart

Slow toll now the funeral bells

 

I need to die to feel alive

 

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don’t you see

You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

 

Bye bye beautiful

 

It’s not the tree that forsakes the flower

But the flower that forsakes the tree

Someday I’ll learn to love these scars

Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

 

…How blind can you be, don’t you see…

…that the gambler lost all he does not have…

 

Did you ever hear what I told you

Did you ever read what I wrote you

Did you ever listen to what we played

Did you ever let in what the world said

Did we get this far just to feel your hate

Did we play to become only pawns in the game

How blind can you be, don’t you see

You chose the long road but we’ll be waiting

 

Bye bye beautiful
