Rolander - Fading

In diesem Song geht es um einen Sterbenden. Während er die Welt verlässt, wird ihm bewusst, dass er immer die falschen Dinge für erstrebenswert gehalten hat. Er erkennt, wie oberflächlich und vergeudet sein Leben war.

Roland Enders: Vocals, Gitarren, Banjo, electric Sitar, Keyboards, KB-Drums und KB-Bass.

Edit: Ich habe einige Details am Mix und den von Wendland monierten Gitarrensound geändert. Sicher noch nicht die endgültige Version, aber hoffentlich ein kleiner Schritt voran.

Leaving the fading world behind
No longer deaf, no longer blind
I'm leaving burdens, leaving chains
My fears, my sorrows and my pains

I left my marks – some good, some bad
Sometimes was happy, sometimes sad
Won admiration, hoarded wealth
I lost their love and ruined my health

Looking back now I can tear the veil
That used to cloak my faults and fails
I deeply regret I refused to see
How my children craved to be loved by me
Loved by me

Appearance and superficiality
Were given the highest priority
A glamorous life meaningless and illusory
It even lacked the substance of a short story


Leaving the fading world behind
No longer deaf, no longer blind
The broken promises I made
For every lie a price was paid

The sands of time are running out
I always thought my heart was stout
I'd figured out a longer spell
Not yet prepared to say farewell

Now it's too late. I see them standing
Around my grave, not comprehending
That nevermore I can return
Their solemn faces bowed to the urn
I won't return

I've left the fading world behind
No longer deaf, no longer blind
Left my beloved and now can see
The wasted opportunity

Fading...
