It was better before

This memory of the past 
Like a simple letter 
Within reach of your lips 
This declining sleep 
It dispersed me. 
Towards these thousand promises
The past is past, the present is yet to come and the future is to be fled 
Since then I am a soul 
Who sails, without burning or sadness 
I remember the past 
When words had meaning
When values were real 
I realize today 
Let all that glitters 
Is worthless 
That we are here 
Waiting our turn 
With death as witness 
And our lives behind us 
The past is past, the present remains in the future 
And that"s why I survive 
Since then I am a soul 
Who sails without burning or sadness 
I remember the past 
When values had a word
When I could say "trust"
I realize 
For tomorrow 
That the sun will be in decline 
And at worst there will only be one way 
What to tell you 
What else to do apart from moving forward?
I won"t be able to get anything anymore 
Just illusions and false ideas 
The future is looking bleak 
The past is present 
And the rest to come 
Since then I am a soul 
Who sails in sadness 
Without knowing where to go 
I remember the past 
When words had meaning 
And values a path 
I remember 
Until I lost myself 
In the meanders of a smile 
Hold on to dreams
I remember it was yesterday 
Today the present 
No Future to Come 
I still remember 
I still remember 
I still remember 
Oh oh oh oh oh 
Yes I remember it was better before 
It was better before 
It was better before
