[Segue: Instrumental Intro – 00:00-01:24]
[Verse 1]
I was living so out of control
Like I was immortal
No man of mercy
Couldn't understand
Always raise the way
Eternally comes the fire
[Pre-Chorus]
In the end there'll be resolution
One's confined by their own conclusions
No forgiveness for sins we can't explain
So one sided
[Chorus]
Paintings in the gallery of life
Passing before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
Are all that remain
Dead man on display
[Verse 2]
In the mirror all that I can see
Are the eyes of a strangеr
Just staring back and assessing me
Then I fall to thе ground in agony
I surrender
[Pre-Chorus]
They remember a past existence
All was new and the end was distant
Saw me cower with no persistence
Now I'm only a shell
[Chorus]
Paintings in the gallery of life
Passing before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
Are all that remain
Dead man on display!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
We are only portraits on a wall
Nothing's forever, nothing's forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Pictures from the gallery of life
Passing before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
And all that remains
Is the memory
[Chorus]
God have mercy, I have lost my way
Nothing can bring me back
I must accept my fate
For now I've become
A dead man on display!
