[Lyric] The Sequel (Paul Morricone)

Hallow the sound of dreams
Hallow the sound of dreams

It takes a moment to destroy
What took a lifetime to create
You're only three payslips away from this
A sudden sliding into the abyss
A golden handshake with a twist
The stronger hand becomes the fist
It's only now he learns their subtle art
To take his life apart
With every turn the door is shut
And now he joins the great unseen
On his wrist the parting gift, a chinese burn, the final ploy
A lifetime's work can be destroyed
He always thought he could compete
He always thought he was their equal
But now he stands here in defeat, complete
And that's his role now in the sequel

Honours shared, honours shared, honours shared
Honours shared, honours shared
A man stands on his own
He has no wife, no family and no home
You're only three wages away from this
Out of the public eye into the abyss
And this is what he learned
To never mock a killing bird
It takes a moment to destroy
What took a life time to create

Honours shared, honours shared, honours shared
Honours shared, honours shared
