Earthbound

Why are we so afraid to see though those sparkling lights? Is the world mesmerised by a cheap illusion? When will we find our way? Is it all about survival? Our lives - frail but exalting When will they be ours? Don't look away! Don't believe the world's the same! Every word, every way, every path will only lead right black to you... oh what are you waiting for? Don't you know it's all about the road? Will you weep over deserted oceans - embracing a silent land? Oh is it all about survival Will you die last? Will you wish you dreamt a different past? Oh tell me deep inside... do all wrong know right? How long will we hide behind those lies?

Savouring the dusk of dreams The bittersweet evasion of the pain of awakening Oh why are those golden meadows so enticing? Yet I know that I must surrender To the insomniac dawn And I know That I must return to the shell of my earthbound spirit Savouring the truth inside The bittersweet evasion of the pain of remembering Oh why are those golden meadows so enticing? Frozen in time - a gift from above Or just another moment closer to the end Another way to tear myself open Where is home and who to believe? Where's this road leading? Is it just fate that I am thrown from the depths of the Earth to bare mountain tops? And maybe I'm the fool for taking my own path Well I walk alone if I must But maybe one day I'll find my own golden meadows amongst those words I thought would fade in time But now I know: they've become what I am... and they'll just scream and never leave me again They'll be mine forever, unforgiven...

Lay me down - my serenity On fragrant meadows Of arcane desires Release my heart from its rusty cage Immerse your thirst within my soul - Valled beneath soft sheets of sorrow... Oh lay me down and sing for me Sweet lullabies of broken shadows - That sweep across our silent solace As we're drifting, Drifting solemnly across Roaring seas of our brave new world... So embrace my soul - it's yours Destroyed but undefeated we'll soar With broken wings And forever I'll cling to our beloved crime - Of obeying mysteries too great to deny So embrace my soul - it's yours Destroyed but undefeated we'll soar with broken wings

Silent for so long* I wondered through empty streets 'till I... found myself screaming at last - Take me away I'm not meant to be here... Left behind without a word - just Empty letters of lies and those Bittersweet memories - buried somewhere deep Now how will I find home again? How will I know the way? Do I have to walk through fire again - Do I have to take that lonely way? Cowering behind the lines Chasing illusions Drifting slowly down and down Along with sparkling sands of time Wondering when hope was set free And we all got in line When has the run begun... Just open your eyes... Over your head Of they're building Someone else's world And yet you follow the same old Road under your soles When will you awake? When will you look inside? Who's hero will you be, who's yesterday belongs to you oh who's tomorrow...
