Lyric:
Shatter(ed)(s) Feb. 1/10 Karl Rigelhof
(When) (you) look in the mirror
Who/what (is) stares/ing back at you
Is it (the image of) your guilty conscience
Reflecting (your/the) regret for (the) things/what you didn't do
(And) (if) it all comes crashing down
Thunder (and) lightening strikes the ground
Frustration swirling all around
In (a) wall/wave(s) of light/sight and sound
CHORUS:
(And) (then) (it) shatter(ed)(s)
Fragments/ed (of) memory/ies
(Are) (forever) scattered
Like (broken) shards of (broken) glass
(There are/is) ((too/the) (many))/another crack(s) in the ice
(And) (the) pressure (i)s building (and is about) to (the) break(ing) (point)
And/until it/we (all) slip(s)/slide(s) through our hands/fingers
Into the frozen depths below
(And) (if) it all gets blown away
(By) (the) fury of the/a raging <-> (storm (is))
What (else) is (there) left to say
When (it's already)/(all is) said and done
CHORUS:
(And) (then) (it) shatter(ed)(s)
(Like) (a) forgotten melody/ies
(The) words (are) splatter(ed)(s)
Across the pages of history
BRIDGE:
Where/when did it (all) (begin) (to) go wrong
Why couldn't we just get/play along
Where had/ve (all) the good times gone
When we (used to) (all) sing/sang the same song
And it used to be all right
Yes it used to feel just fine
(And then)/until we walked away
And left it all behind
(With) (our) hearts and minds (are) broken
We could not (find) (a) compromise
(And) (because) (the) words were left unspoken
(But) it/that comes as no surprise
And (it all)/everything falls to pieces
Smashing/like/((with) (all)) (our) hopes and dreams
Pride and passion reaches
Beyond/to much more than it seems/means /
Taken to/beyond (the) extreme(s)
CHORUS:
(And) (then) (it) shatter(ed)(s)
(Sung) (with/in) discordant harmony/ies
What (really) matters/ed
(Is) (now) lost in the (fading) past
