Ten Years
Lie alone in the shadows My own company Always hiding in silence Melt in misery Every night is a horror Days are sickening Still the distance glimmers Freedom beckoning Ten years I lost my life Ten years in chains Ten years I dreamed of you Ten years your name It's a curse in the making Sick another year Yet I'm so far from lifeless Will I die in here? In a cage for the ages Fear entombing me And it's locked from the inside Trapped without a key Ten years I lost my life Ten years in chains Ten years I dreamed of you Ten years your name Suddenly, like a shockwave The door is opening And I walk into darkness Sick and suffering Demons hide in the open Wild and hunting me An escape to the outside Laced with tragedy Ten years you lived my life Ten years ashamed Ten years I hated you Ten years insane

Pray the fear of living life is gone Pray I've the strength to carry on The hopes and dreams, always harder than they seem I'm found without a set of wings I wonder when I'll finally have it all Then wonder when I'll hit the wall The cures we should find and the mountains we should climb I think we'll be alright when we fly, yeah When I fly the hunt becomes my art My idle hands, your bleeding heart The claw ends the fight in the shadows of the night One inch away to take your life I seek all powers of the earth below To gain the strength I've never known It's a wide open door, we're much different than before To rule the skies forevermore The mirror lies with my reflection Waiting for this new direction Waiting for some bold reaction from you Take a step back from the churning Try to act on what I'm learning Realize there's only so much we can do Tired of the superficial goals So tired, long before I'm old A crowd may gather round, as you briefly leave the ground But an eagle's freedom's never found Pray the scripture's promised land is true Pray that I have nothing left to lose The blood and the scars, though we'll never touch the stars Remember why we've come this far, yeah

It's another heroes' sunset I'm riding on the Great North Road Coiled and tensed in wonder As the land turns burning gold Chorus: Out in the sun, out in the wind I'm nearly ready now to come back again We are silent in this worship Beneath the breathing of the summer trees They sparkle in a dance of silver As the light falls through the leaves Chorus: Out in the sun, out in the wind I'm nearly ready now to come back again So from the wisdom of trances, the armies of Jesus To the Voodoo possessions, the different disguises At dusk in the mountains, all bowed in surrender A thousand voices calling out a million names We knelt as we lit the candles Around the little shrine Take me back to the white light I want to go there again Chorus: Out in the sun, out in the wind I'm nearly ready now to come back again

Some people think about the future as a fantasy Some see it like a star they could never reach Just as you reach it, you're watching it die Some people see the world as if it has to stay like this I don't think that's anything safe to rely If you could see tomorrow through my eyes I see tomorrow I can see it all too clear I can see what you are becoming What I see is what you all should fear Are you becoming slaves to the system? Has peace become a fallacy? Have you all forgotten why you're stranded here For eternity? There is nothing I can say But I'll do what I can do To help you find the way Right in front of you Some people beat the children of this earth to submission Then lock them up in cages when they make mistakes They can't learn the truth if you forcefeed them lies I see tomorrow I can see it all too clear I can see what you are becoming What I see is what you all should fear You can't afford to be so complacent You must rehabilitate the world and make it well Or else you'll have to claim responsibility For this living hell There is nothing I can say But I'll do what I can do To help you find the way Right in front of you

Where to find the words And who am I to try When I might not know myself Yet I owe the advice So can we live this life And ignore the unfair I bid you not things I've gathered but these thoughts I can share I just thought you should see what I've seen To behold and believe Bring these things a new meaning Then this song is yours to sing And reflect in your own light Your chance to live right Hard lessons loom in the future But I'll be by your side I can weigh what's wrong or right Done by best to this day Only fools think they know it all They don't matter anyway We'll see you blaze your own trails I couldn't ask for more Not always having the answers But we've been there before And we've conquered before I just thought you should see what I've seen To behold and believe Bring these things a new meaning Then this song is yours to sing And reflect in your own light Your chance to live right Hard lessons loom in the future But I'll be by your side
