Lyrics

INTRO (IN LITHUANIAN):
Lieka tik muzika, Lieka tik muzika,
Lieka tik muzika -- Ji amžina
Viskas praeina nebesugrįžta
Lieka tik muzika, Lieka tik muzika,
Lieka tik muzika --
(TRANSLATION:
All that's left is music (3x)
That is forever
Everything passes and never returns
All that's left is music...)

VERSE 1:
As a child I believed what I was taught about my world
Believed in my priests, in my teachers,
And in my parents – God bless them for all that they didn’t know…
And for what I discovered on my own

CHORUS 1:
There came that fateful day
When all I thought I knew got blown away
Life cut thru me like a blade
And my whole world was changed

VERSE 2:
It took some time to take it in and to get out into this larger world
Believing in myself, in all that I had learned
Thru experience – God bless me for all I hadn’t lived yet…
And for the rest that I still had to get

CHORUS 2 (EXTENDED):
There came that fateful day
When all I thought I’d lived got blown away
Life cut thru another layer
And my whole world again was changed
I thought I had life figured out
I thought I saw a clear way to go
I thought I knew beyond a doubt --
So what do I ever really know?

BRIDGE:
Life is change and worms become butterflies
Snakes shed their skin, some ideas have to die
The greatest empire can crumble away ‘cause
Nothing that’s born on earth can stay the same

INTERLUDE:
Viskas praeina Nebesugrįžta > 2x
(Everything passes and never returns)
So where do I stand?
Lieka tik muzika Ji amžina
(All that's left is music, that is forever)
I stand renewed in every moment, ready for anything –

CHORUS 3:
There came that fateful day Now every moment I am blown away
I’ve become the cutting blade And everywhere I go, the world is changed
There came that fateful day Now every moment I am blown away
I’ve become the cutting blade And everything is changed
