A magical, timeless universe
In its lap we could not be hurt
We built castles in the trees
Time stood still

The battlefields burned in the melting sun
We fought each other with wooden guns
Proud to play the grown man’s game

We all were invincible
No one ever died
We walked into reality
With our arms open wide

We made our step through the open door
Grew up fast in the twilight zonе
New built castle in the sky
Timе went by

Cigarettes, drinks and sleazy bars
So called love in borrowed cars
We kept playing the grown man’s game

And we were invincible
With the future on our side
We walked into reality
With our arms open wide


Time's gone by
Now we’re so much older, so much wiser
But the innocence is washed away
We keep our dreams and fantasies
With chains around them

We’ve lost much more than we can find
Our hopes are scattering on the ground
Ruined castles in the sand

Who’s to blame?
The battlefields burn in the melting sun
In everyday fights, life goes on
Still we play the grown man’s game

Once we were invincible
But the magic’s gone somehow
In the mirror of reality
We don’t seem transcendent now
