Modern Life Architecture Lyrics - Singles - Woods Of Ypres

When we're young, we design a plan, 

We work, we build, we make it real 

And in the moment it becomes complete, 

The first cracks start to appear 

A weak foundation, finally revealed 

in the desperation, when the walls came tumbling down 

Oh, in my prime - oh, never to return 

Oh, as I once was - a broken man, 

Living half a life... (without you...) 

On the path to recovery, As a sign of the times, 

With the empires crumbling I left all dreams abandoned, 

On the steps of a modern life 

In defeat we redesign the plan, and we give it just one more chance 

As we take another deep breath, and prepare for the worst, again 

A life in crisis, is always threatened by time 

For the longer it takes to be restored... 

The less likely it is to occur 

Oh, in my prime - oh, never to return 

Oh, as I once was - a broken man, 

Living all alone... (without you...) 

On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling 

I left all dreams abandoned, on the steps of a modern life 

On the path to recovery, with the empires crumbling 

I left all dreams abandoned with you, on the steps of a modern life 

There is always hope, of course, that one day, we will 

Rise again but this modern life architecture, 

Is crumbling, under the weight of the world
