D                         Bm
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D                                   C            Bm
I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
D                             Bm
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D                            G9
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.

D                           Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D                          C               Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D                                  Bm
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D                          G9                             A9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

B           B/Bb           Abm      F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B          B/Bb               Abm        F#
I need the strength to go and get what I want
B        B/Bb              Gm       F#
I lost a lifetime thinking of it

An' lost an era daydreaming like do.

I stared a century thinking this will never change,

As I hesitated time rushed onwards out without me.
D                                Bm
Too scared to break the spell to small to take a fall,

But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen.
D                                    Bm
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
