what is eternal

• trans siberian orchestra'nın 2000 yılında çıkan beethovens last night albümünden beethoven rolündeki jody ashworth'un seslendirdiği parça...
  
  and here in the night
  as i feel the inferno
  i stare in the dark
  thinking what is eternal
  
  the man or the moment
  the act or the reason
  these thoughts fill my head
  as i contemplate treason
  
  of dreams i have had
  and dreams i have pondered
  when late in the night
  my mind it would wander
  
  to things i have done
  and then quickly regretted
  while denying vices
  my life had selected
  
  and i think what i've done
  or have yet to begin
  and the man i've become
  and the man that i've been
  
  now caught in a waltz
  with the eternal dancer
  i'm courted by death
  but death isn't the answer
  i say
  
  all i was
  meant to be
  could i
  suddenly
  just decide
  not a thought
  would survive
  could it be
  my life's worth
  ended there
  with my birth
  
  if i could see someone
  who's been there before me
  and traded his soul
  for a moment of glory
  
  his penance or mercy
  by spirits debated
  while judged on a scale
  that's been heavily weighted
  
  and what have i done
  could there be such a sin
  in this man i've become
  in this man that i've been
  
  now calling to god
  from the pit's very bottom
  i pray he forgives
  every sin i've forgotten
  this day
  
  and who would have thought
  that my fate it would conjure
  this twist in the road
  on which i have wandered
  
  each vision and dream now
  completely dismembered
  to give one's whole life
  and find nothing's
  remembered
  
  and what good is a life
  that leaves nothing behind
  not a thought or a dream
  that might echo in time
  
  the years and the hours
  the seconds and minutes
  and everything that
  my life has placed in it
  betrayed
  betrayed
  betrayed
  
  the things i have done
  the places i've been
  the cost of my dreams
  the weight of my sins
  
  and everything that
  i've gathered in life
  could it be lost
  could it be lost in this
  could it be lost in this
  night
