There's a thief on a summer's night Across an ocean Who sees another's life fading away
And of this life he writes Without emotion Then pushes it from sight Somewhere faraway To a distant land Every tear betrayed And never makes And never makes And never makes And never makes a stand Makes a stand Lord there's something wrong Makes a stand
Could a star's forgotten light A child's devotion Embrace eternal night In shallow graves
As we watch from distant heights No breath or motion Still every ghost must haunt in its own way Sleep beneath my dreams Safe within my hands Where I never under Never under Never understand
Lord there's something wrong
No one remembers No one denies No one asks questions No one replies
Here nothing enters Nothing departs Here nothing's ended If nothing starts
In your life could you carry on Could you never think about it Till in time you start to doubt it
Then you close your eyes Is it really gone How in truth can you defend her If you're really not remembering
No regrets If you just forget If a memory is lenient You can find it most convenient So you let it fade Till it's very vague Just a silhouette of shadows But the shadows are still lingering
Still I hold you there With your endless stare
I'm too old to be living this Lived to long to be given this Can our god be forgiving this
I had a light that shined Across my mind Rarely see it any more
Now it is mostly dark Accept for sparks Can't remember what they're for
I am the morphine child The dream defiled The never ending metaphor I am the wizard oz Result and cause Never look behind that door
Cantations Cantations Cantations Cantations
Never listen to the crowd before me Never listen to the self ordained Never really wanted to believe it any way
