once this was the real world
once it was a dream
once the world had light
once until it fell
last in through the night
start the engines roar the crowd
always set to be out drowned
gasping for air that's never there
and spinning down ten times
once this was a real time
once it was the same
once time held me free
once until i fell
last in through the storm
race the engines stoke the crowd
further in their chants so loud
past the star and gone so far
and farther past all the signs
once this was the real world
once no longer my dream
once the world had light
once until it fell
last up from the fight
burn the engines hush the crowd
no more praising screams allowed
built to crash not to last
and harder than ever before
once this was a real life
once it was insane
once life came to pass
once until i fell
last one to be last.
