Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Lost in a scene from this [bad word] [bad word] 
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world 

Life was an emotional knife 
It cut the flesh, it hit the bone 
It made reality a web of lies 
Life was a perpetual high 
Up on the wire without a net 
He couldn't balance so he took a dive 

When Vegas called he got the message far away 
They begged this worn out king to play 
The mighty fall, inside the measure of the day 
It's pitiful, it's all in vain 

Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Lost in a scene from this [bad word] [bad word] 
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world 

Life and its unbearable fire 
The night his mother passed away 
He poured his soul into her funeral pyre 

Life, through unforgettable eyes 
For though he tried to face the dark 
He lost the battle but he never dies 

He had it all somehow he let it slip away 
Much of his death is unexplained 
Now just a memory shines out beyond the grave 
Remembers all that now remains 

Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Lost in a scene from this [bad word] [bad word] 
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world 
Lingers on in the world... oh! 
(Guitar Solo) 
Oh! 
(Keyboard Solo) 
Oh, no! No! No! No! 
Oh! - Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings
