If there isn't light where no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe? A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away, vanish into small Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball Oh, it's the time Feels like the time On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo doesn't answer When it hears a certain song Then the beast is free to wander But never seen around And it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Salivate To fade From the book the word is spoken, whispers from forgotten songs Gather all around the young ones, they will make us strong Reach above your dreams of pleasure, give a life to those who die Look beyond your own horizons, sail the ship of sigh And it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Fade away, fade away, like the crystal ball Fade away, fade away, I can't accept it anymore Fade away, fade away, I can't accept it anymore Fade away, fade away, I can't accept it anymore Fade away, fade away, I can't accept it anymore On a real world west of wonder, somewhere, nowhere There's a rainbow sea and shimmer when the summer falls From the book the word is spoken, whispers from forgotten songs Gather all around the young ones, they will make us strong It's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Don't live for pleasure, make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high, about to fall, and no one there to catch you Live for the sign, the time, the sign of the southern cross Fade away Fade away Fade away
