Monument Lyrics - Fates Warning

There's a blind desire there's a drive 

There's a need to leave some lasting feat 

Something to hold, something to keep 

A monument to complete 

There's a written page there's a book 

There's a search for something to say 

Something to share, something to speak 

A monument to convey 

Is it fiction, is it confession 

Is it a passion or just a profession 

Is it performance, is it expression 

Is it a passion or just an obsession 

There's a photograph there's a frame 

There's a time, a moment to confine 

Something to save, something to see 

A monument to enshrine 

Is it performance, is it expression 

Is it a passion or just a profession 

Is it fiction, is it confession 

Is it a passion or just an obsession 

There's an empty room there's a blank page 

There's a picture left incomplete 

Something is lost, something remains 

A monument to defeat 

Is it fiction, is it confession 

Is it a passion or just a profession 

Is it performance, is it expression 

Is it a passion or just an obsession
