The night is drawing on but all the strain not told on him    and he won`t fall into the sleep of the just    to be a tumbler or a lonesome intruder    he is as good as gold and searching for trust       (Be), to be the harlequin who shines in dead gold    to kill those idle thoughts about this stronghold    (see), see the evening star in this sunset glow    sailing the splendour ships straight on the port bow       (pre-chorus)    Strike the sands of ever    the lingering sound of dreams    in harsh reality    turn over a new leaf    ardently desired    and forever       (chorus)    (Shine), it fired his imagination so far    and he gave rise to hope    (shine), this true ring of conviction will leave a scar    (to) the dancer on a rope    (shine), so where`s the difference between man and machine?    and who will draw the line?    (shine), the game is worth the candle, always been    may all the ways then shine       Sometimes he`s worlds apart and elsewhere lies his dream    and he won`t never shift the blame on you    sometimes a parting kiss speaks louder than action    when life turns suddenly like a bolt from the blue       (He), he`s not the silver slave supposed to be    he`s on the rise to fame out of this tragedy    (free), so now the odds are even, literally true    there is no limit to it all, there is no taboo       (pre-chorus)    (chorus)       Don`t clip those wings of a flying    when wearing your heart on your sleeve    but still there is life among dying    the far cry off and make-believe       In this palatial hallway    should all be null and void?    between the tricks of fortune    in years that he enjoyed    he is the one enigma    high-flown beneath the sun    is he the last resort?    when future has begun       (chorus)
