My father died today   A lovely melody is fading   My memories will stay   For months he was waiting      For you dark brother of sleep   Limbs are crippled, pain can't be eased   Decline and illness creep   Open doors for you, he is released      Is my life a castle built on sand   Did I hold a liar’s hand   Walls of betrayal, roof of lies   Oh I'm scared what if truth dies      Whatever words will tell   Tales from heaven or from hell   They'll never change our past   What is true will always last      His life lies in my hand   A story from an unknown dark land   Happened many years ago   In a town where silent winds blow      Ashes to ashes he claims   Scattered pieces, nothing remains   But a fading melody   Some loving words in a diary      Is my life a castle built on sand   Did I hold a liar's hand   Walls of betrayal, roof of lies   Oh I'm scared what if truth dies      Whatever words will tell   Tales from heaven or from hell   Theyll never change our past   What is true will always last
