Analysis of Fade Away
Anguish of the mourning
Shadows of the day
Clouds of the horizon soon will fade away
Anger of the moment
Conflicts of the day
Strains of the recital soon will fade away
Alarm of the scruples
Unrests of the day
Views of the attitude soon will fade away
Action of the trenches
Labors of the day
Scores of the recompense soon will fade away
Answer of the ledgers
Reports of the day
Tales of the mystery soon will fade away
Account of the visions
Dreams of the day
Hopes of the reverie soon will fade away
