Through the Fading Smoke

[Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1] Just as you turn and walk away, I steal a moment for the day. I go back to that familiar place, Like a thousand times, the same embrace. [Chorus] I step into the empty hall, It echoes with the final call, As the smoke is fading slow I step into the empty hall, It echoes with the final call, As the smoke is fading slow. [Instrumental Loss] [Verse 2] The moment that you leave my side, I find a quiet place to hide. I go back to where we used to be, Just like a thousand memories. [Chorus] I walk the stage one last time, The crowd has left, but you're still mine, When the smoke is drifting low. I walk the stage one last time, The crowd has left, but you're still mine, When the smoke is drifting low. [Instrumental Loss] [Verse 3] When you have gone and left me here, I find the time to disappear. I go back to that old, familiar door, Just like a thousand nights before. [Chorus] I stand alone beneath the lights, The stage still holds the fading nights, As the smoke is going down. I stand alone beneath the lights, The stage still holds the fading nights, As the smoke is going down. [Instrumental Break: powerful, technical, epic Scorpions-esque guitar solo!!!] [Final Chorus: FULL POWER!!! Ad-libs.] I stand alone beneath the lights, The stage still holds the fading nights, As the smoke is going down! I step into the empty hall, It echoes with the final call, As the smoke is fading slow! I walk the stage one last time, The crowd has left, but you're still mine, When the smoke is drifting low! I stand alone beneath the lights, The stage still holds the fading nights, As the smoke is going down!.. [Outro: ad-libs.] As the smoke is going down!.. As the smoke!.. Is going!.. Down!..
