This Is the Life Lyrics

Once draped in golden laurels, I danced on shattered glass

Mirrors of my triumphs, now ghostly in their past

Chasing the illusion, a mirage of design

In the kingdom of the hollow, where I claim the divine

Crown of ashes, a throne of dust

Embers of my victories, the dreams that turned to rust

In the echo of the limelight, a shadow falls apart

A masterpiece of splinters, a broken work of art"This is the life", a whispered lie

In the glare of grandeur is where I die

Among the fractured echoes, the spotlight's fading light

A hollow proclamation"This is the life"

A quiet call enticing, the melody turned grey

Each harmony collapsing as the notes just fade away

A table set with silence, where the dreams refuse to speak

The corridors of longing, where the past is all we seek

Crown of ashes, a throne of dust

Embers of my victories, the dreams that turned to rust

In the echo of the limelight, a shadow falls apart

A masterpiece of splinters, a broken work of art"This is the life", a whispered lie

In the glare of grandeur is where I die

Among the fractured echoes, the spotlight's fading light

A hollow proclamation"This is the life"
