Life escapes day by day
 Looking through stained mirrors I just can see my shame
 What am I living for today?
 For great illusions!
 Here I stand deceived man
 With my big ambitions full in my empty life
 With thousand dreams but without guide
 I chase the shadows ... what
 What am I looking for?
 Centuries are gone
 What remains on my hands?
 CHORUS
 When the lights go down
 After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
 When the lights go down
 We can only resign to the quickly passing time
 When the world belonged to me
 I was young I was the king of the midnight life
 And all the stars were high and bright on my horizons
 Now...
 ... That I'm searching for one hope to rebirth
 What is really matter?
 CHORUS
 When the lights go down
 When there's no one more chance and life goes so fast now
 When the lights go down
 We can only resign to the passing age's price
 What am I living for?
 My life has just gone
 What remained on my hands?
 CHORUS
 When the lights go down
 After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
 And the lights go down
 Yet I've lost all my life in deceptive illusions
 CHORUS
 When the lights go down
 There is no one more chance to turn back on lifetime
 Going out of my bounds
 I can only resign to the quickly passing time
