Dying In a Moment of Splendor

I am a hero
I am an actor
I'm a violent shade of blue
I am newly discovered tension
Still confused by yesterday

I'm a hero
On a mission
Staking claims
And yielding none

I am an artist
With a vision
Seeing hell
His destiny

I know the simple sting of a tear
Sends the star crashing to earth

And dying
In a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory
And the death
Are one the same

I'm an actor
So unfeeling
Then a flower
I am crushed

I am a villain
Unstable and anguished
Than an angel
You trust

The heartless echo of memory
Sends the actor whirling twirling
Falling to his knees

And dying
In a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory
And the death
Are one the same

I am a bubble
Almost to bursting
Swollen by unrelinquishing pride

I am the shrinking
Remains of potential
Never growing as I should

I know the simple sting of a tear
I know the simple sting of a tear
I know the simple sting of a tear

And I'm dying
In a moment of splendor
For a moment the glory
And the death
Are one the same
