The Conductor's Departure
Lyricist:Fredrik Schalin, Unknown
Drawn by a sad melody I enter this old theater I walk through corridors But for the music all is still
I reckon I'm late for the show Strange to say there is no crowd But enchanted by the sound I start to walk down one of two aisles
But as I reach the stage I find the orchestra motionless Like frozen in their play All covered up in cobwebs Indicating the time that passed
All in their evening attire Beautiful like an old Monochrome photograph
Bows lie still on violins' strings The sound comes no longer From their instruments It's but an echo between these walls Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And has so been for years Yet ever so strong
Their eyes focus in the direction Where the conductor once was stood He'd rule them from the podium And they'd anxiously obey Any gesture he would make
No one could in their wildest dreams Imagine that he while he'd conduct Would cast a spell and turn them into Stone, statuesque, proud but sad
The conductor departed but left this dirge To accompany their destiny, I panic as I realize The podium was nobody else's place but mine
Paralyzed by insight I'm viewing my own life All my hopes and dreams All that could have been turned to stone As I stepped down from my throne
