Dead Winter Dead

In the town of Sarajevo there's an old medieval square There's a church aside one corner, most believe was always there It was built a thousand years before any now were born And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and worn Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes

Watching in silence I hesitate: It was not in the plans All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah This is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be, yeah, yeah

I see a little man sitting and he's wondering If over his little plot, he might be king And he finds his present world a little boring There's no land that is so small, that it cannot divide So come, I'll draw the line and you just pick your side Ignoring anyone who gives a warning For I am the answer you seek The dream in your sleep you never wanted to awaken I have the plan that won't fail A crime without trail and all I really need right now is you! I see a little man thinking that he might need more And so his eyes are drifting to the house next door He wonders if his neighbors might be leaving So he makes a little offer, that they'll understand There is no point in letting things get out of hand For no one wants to see their widows grieving For I am the answer you seek The dream in your sleep you never wanted to awaken I have the plan that won't fail A crime without trail and all I really need right now is you! I am the word without deeds The lie that exceeds, for lies are always most impatient I am the guide for the lost Who never counts cost and all I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you!...

We never fear the night We bring our own starlight Dropped on the world below Wait for the afterglow We never fear the night, we bring our own starlight Dropped on the world below, wait for the afterglow And in the dark they wed we're dancing with the dead And if the ground' been stained colors run in the rain Run away, no delay Do we have to show you? Don't expect mercy yet We don't even know you Hear the press, nothing less Saying that we don't care Understand it's the land And you'd have to be there... We never contemplate, we only offer fate And in the night they arc flowering in the dark Filling the sky with red till all their needs are fed Then, like a childhood tear, they quickly disappear Run away, no delay Do we have to show you? Don't expect mercy yet We don't even know you Hear the press, nothing less Saying that we don't care Understand it's the land And you'd have to be there... Run away, no delay Do we have to show you? Don't expect mercy yet We don't even know you Hear the press, nothing less Saying that we don't care Understand it's the land And you'd have to be there...

We dared to ask for more, but that was long before The nights began to burn - you would have thought we'd learned You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow Happiness, security are words we only borrowed For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past With every word a trap that no one can take back From all the architects who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city They're not coming back any more They're not coming back any... Is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant

Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head "Breathe it in, breathe it in" - isn't that what they said As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires? Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light As the puppets hang upon their wires I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led... dead winter dead Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time To read words from a past you can't remember? Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for If it made sense my friend well then not anymore Every dream I'm told has its december I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led... dead winter dead

Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find A tunnel out so we all can be saved If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave One child hid inside the darkness One child never said a thing One child closed his eyes and disappeared But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper...

No life's so short it can't turn around You can't spend your life living underground For from above you don't hear a sound And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am But I know that it's all that you see No life's so short that it never learns No flame so small that it never burns No page so sure that it never turns And I'm out here, waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am But I know that it's all that you see Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play? Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around Tell me if you win would it show - in a thousand years, who would know? As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground... I've been waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am, but it is what you see... Tell me would you really want to See me leave this night without you Would you ever look about you Wondering where we might be New York is so far away now Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow Only dreams from here but somehow One day that world we will see... I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand... ...what I see I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance Our lives are this moment, the music - the dance And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see You're all that I see...
