The Actor - Tygers Of Pan Tang

You thought you were the master of your life

You thought you had it all worked out

But times have changed and days don’t seem

So Sweet

Don’t let the floor drop out from your world

The lights go on and the story seems so old

You’ve seen this on T.V. so many times before

But now you are the actor living out the role

There’s no cameras there, no script to keep

The hero whole

You are the actor

The lights upon the stage

You are the actor

The encores never came

And when your brothers lie in pieces on the ground

You shed your tears, say you didn’t realize

And when the righteous pin the medals

On your shirt

Do you think that god will shake your hand

You are the actor

The curtains never closed

You are the actor

The story’s never told

You are the actor

You’re living on the role

You are the actor —
