Is this the end of the road We travelled for so many years Of my life's best journey Full of joy and tears is this the end of the summer To pave my winter's way The end of all salvation In the words I say Let my songs tell them my story When the final chapter's done Songs of love, defeat and glory Sound on when I am gone Are these the ways of destiny To tell me I was wrong The painfull thruth of fortide That carried me along Are these the ways of life itself That I had to master The trials of the gods above That led to this disaster Let my songs tell them my story When the final chapter's done Songs of love, defeat and glory Sound on when I am gone How could i believe That this would last forever All that gave my soul relief
