The Show Goes On (Gone but not Forgotten) It’s not over Though the sound is gone I’m feeling quite hungover Intoxicated by pantomime My ears still ring from the music’s chime The lights have faded My retinas burned by sparks that have cascaded The show it still goes on and on My dreams reborn by the brand new dawn You may be gone but not forgotten Your messages of love will carry on I’ve opened up my mind and let you step inside Your music will sing on until the end of time I’ve gone slightly mad Vanished has the silhouette of the man A champion of the world is gone My heart is filled with the futures songs You may be gone but not forgotten Your messages of love will carry on The hate gets me frustrated and my heart is devastated But my smile still stays on

My king of Rhye's lost his thrown Descends to the heavens, the world is torn Lost the fight, but the legend lives on I take over, I sing my psalms Your death drained my wings But your reign filled our dreams Gave us all the pride Saved my life time to time The seven seas have all dried The bloodshed runs high In honor of the cries Remembrance for my royal Rhye The lily of the valley has grown Nevermore on the thrown I live to serve you, reign with my tone I live to make you proud, march against the crown My Fairy King, I'll make you proud My Fairy King, I'll make you proud My whole life was for you Lived this life, dry veins dripped blue Give the people what they want But I'm no fool The lily of the valley has grown Nevermore on the thrown I live to serve you, reign with my tone I live to make you proud, march against the crown My Fairy King, I'll make you proud My Fairy King, I'll make you proud

The Show Goes On (Gone but not Forgotten)

It’s not over

Though the sound is gone
I’m feeling quite hungover
Intoxicated by pantomime
My ears still ring from the music’s chime

The lights have faded
My retinas burned by sparks that have cascaded
The show it still goes on and on
My dreams reborn by the brand new dawn

You may be gone but not forgotten
Your messages of love will carry on
I’ve opened up my mind and let you step inside
Your music will sing on until the end of time

I’ve gone slightly mad
Vanished has the silhouette of the man
A champion of the world is gone
My heart is filled with the futures songs

You may be gone but not forgotten
Your messages of love will carry on
The hate gets me frustrated and my heart is devastated
But my smile still stays on
