Only Beauty Survives lyrics

And so they bring down the curtain

Leaving an empty stage

Only the beauty survives.

Fate with its eyes of stone

Simply looks away

Leaving its victims behind

Only beauty survives

In spite of a world gone crazy

Where even a friend's so hard to find

Only beauty survives

An innocent heart will conquer all

Including that heartless warrior: time

She was the child

He was the face of man

And yet the beauty survives

Ashes to ashes

Everyone takes the stand

To face some personal trial

But only beauty survives

The buildings and bridges crumble

Whole empires go stumbling into the dust

Only beauty survives

The pointless battle for power rages

Only innocent love remains untouched

Only beauty survives

The facts and faces are soon forgotten

No trace of the path is truly alive

Only a beauty survives

Out of the hopeless and broken nations

Only a beauty that can't be touched survives

Only beauty...
