A natural trap that still is just the same
As the days before a never ending game
The empty footsteps carved into the sand
Nobody there except the one to stand

The flat blue waves that float upon the beach
Under a golden dawn shelter out of reach
The fading colours of the days that passed
After all the time no memories can last

Ref. 1:
Short like a single day–Your life can disappear
Short like a single day–Your memory can fade
Short like a single day–Your faith can beat the fear
Short like a single day–Your life is like a shade

Broken and damned to lonelyness
Shapes of tomorrow painted in grey
Memories of past times and still known faces
Seem to vanish life fades away

The one who followed your whole life long
Years ago to another realm had gone
Now your hair is grey like your fainting eyes
With the dusk to come you'll pay the final price

Ref. 2:
Short like a single day–Your life has disappeared
Short like a single day–Your memory has faded
Short like a single day–Your faith has turned to fear
Short like a single day–Your life has turned to shades
