The Bitter End frayed torn

Select language to translate this lyric

All that glitters is rarely gold
It's never more than your can hold
Next to what you've bought and sold
Now I've been skating on thin, thin ice
I get so nervous when the weather is nice
But I'll never take my own advice
If I can keep these years at bay
And think of something new to say
I might avoid this gradual decay
As people come and people go
They take what they need and reap what you sow
And leave a little vacuum in their wake
In rationing my feelings out
Convinced of what it's all about
Now I have some nagging doubts
For everyone who's been and gone
Another two will come along
Watch them sing the same old song
A wall of sound in a long white room
A chrysalis now a cold dark tomb
Echoes a forgotten tune
And he unto the manor born
A broken oath on a bible sworn
Will never see the fabric frayed and torn
