Life is but a dream
Drifting on a stream, a stream
Consciously it seems
All of what remains
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.
I am just a man
Fighting other men
For land, for land
While I turn to sand
In spite of the pain
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.
All of what remains
Ego Brain
Man made shame,
Shame, love after it rains
You see my pain is real
Watch my world dissolve
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand
You took me by the hand
And declared, that love prevails over all.

version 2
Tuning: Drop C, Like ALL System of a Down songs
They're two guitars in part of this song, which is rare for System of a Down.
Daron is on lead guitar and Serj on 2nd guitar. So if some of these parts don't
sound right, it's because there's two guitars. I labeled each part by letters
(A,B,C,D,E)so the exact order won't be confusing.
