[Verse 1]

Dreams in the night –

Just like tears in the winter

Shadows so dark –

Flaming droplets of life

Do you still remember me

The voice that spoke to you?

Tell me when did dreaming end –

In a life so tried and true

[Chorus 1]

Back when you were young, (Carpe Diem)

All your days seemed so long, (Carpe Noctem)

And the nights were so endless. (Carpe Diem)

You were dreaming of what you will become. (Carpe Noctem)

If paradise was half as nice

As your life now, admission price

An entry fee for sure would be

The only thing they'd want from me

Close your eyes –

Let your spirits soar

And explore the world –

Like never done before

[Verse 2]

Come listen to the wind

The stories he tells you –

The plans that you've never made

The chances you've lost

Do you still remember when

You woke up in your bed

And everything that you've become

Has changed and made you mad?

[Chorus 2]

Back when you were young, (Carpe Diem)

All your days seemed so long, (Carpe Noctem)

And the nights were so endless. (Carpe Diem)

You were dreaming of what you will become. (Carpe Noctem)

If paradise was half as nice

As your life now, admission price

An entry fee for sure would be

The only thing they'd want from me

Close your eyes –

Let your spirits soar

And explore the world –

Like never done before

[Middle-8]

There is a light in your eyes

That you can barely disguise

Your face is full of it –

You’re full of it –

You’re full of shit

You’re like: „What should i do in my position?“

You think i’m a magician

With a mission, to hex away your imposition

And all that leaves your mouth is pointless witter

When did you become so bitter?

Did that glitter

And all that gold-dust turn to litter?

I smile and tell you that you meet everybody twice in your life

And you frown –

'once on the way up

Heh, once on the way down

[Chorus 3]

Back when you were young, (Carpe Diem)

All your days seemed so long, (Carpe Noctem)

And the nights were so endless. (Carpe Diem)

You were dreaming of what you will become. (Carpe Noctem)

If paradise was half as nice

As your life now, admission price

An entry fee for sure would be

The only thing they'd want from me

Close your eyes –

Let your spirits soar

And explore the world –

Like never done before

Back when you were young, (Carpe Diem)

All your days seemed so long, (Carpe Noctem)

And the nights were so endless. (Carpe Diem)

You were dreaming of what you will become. (Carpe Noctem)

If paradise was half as nice

As your life now, admission price

An entry fee for sure would be

The only thing they'd want from me

Close your eyes –

Let your spirits soar

And explore the world –

Like never done before
