《The Light Dies Down On Broadway (2008 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:03:34] He follows a small path running along the top, and watches the tube bobbing up and down in the water as the fast current carries it away. However, as he walks around a corner Rael sees a sky-light above him, apparently built into the bank. Through it he can see the green grass of home, well not exactly; he can see Broadway.

[00:03:34] As he walks along the gorge's edge,

[00:03:34] He meets a sense of yesteryear.

[00:03:34] A window in the bank above his head

[00:03:34] Reveals his home amidst the streets.

[00:03:34] Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint

[00:03:34] The smell of acid on his gun of paint.

[00:03:34] As it carves out anger in a blood-red band,

[00:03:34] Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand;

[00:03:34] My home.

[00:03:34] Is this the way out from the endless scene?

[00:03:34] Or just an entrance to another dream?

[00:03:34] And the light dies down on Broadway.

[00:03:34] His heart, now a little bristly, is shaken by a surge of joy and he starts to run, arms wide open, to the way out. At this precise point in time his ears pick up a voice screaming for help. Someone is struggling in the rapids below. It's John.

[00:03:34] But as the skylight beckons him to leave,

[00:03:34] He hears a scream from far below.

[00:03:34] Within the raging water, writhes the form

[00:03:34] Of brother John, he cries for help.

[00:03:34] He pauses for a moment remembering how his brother had abandoned him. Then the window begins to fade - it's time for action.

[00:03:34] The gate is fading now, but open wide.

[00:03:34] But John is drowning, I must decide

[00:03:34] Between the freedom I had in the rat-race,

[00:03:34] Or to stay forever in this forsaken place;

[00:03:34] Hey John!

[00:03:34] He makes for the river and the gate is gone,

[00:03:34] Back to the void where it came from.

[00:03:34] And the light dies down on Broadway.
