Song language: English
Ascending |
From a crashing light I was forced awake |
Clutching bloodshot eyes, wide and afraid |
Stark impressions of a vague, translucent day |
Distorts the room in a lazy way |
A stubborn case of the young man’s blues |
Has gotten me scouring the streets for you |
Where shattered souls and cheated hearts |
Descend into a bedlam of scars |
Parading past ancestral skulls |
Through calloused and bruised urban sprawls |
Hot sweat pours down a sunlit road |
Where life and death meet and explode |
What can’t be ignored and can’t be explained |
Or captured in a song’s refrain |
Each fear I forced on to a page |
I read the words and I choked with rage |
After the war, we left the dead on the shore |
But their screams and cries still haunt us wherever we go |
Our little boat caught in the ebb and the flow |
On the seas of wine where time has but forgotten us |
Donde está el oro, donde están los heroes? |
Donde estaba el dia del sol para ellos? |
Where is the gold, where are all our heroes? |
Where is that day of sun that we have waited on? |
Thrown by the wreck into the eye of the storm |
We cling to life though the gods have all abandoned us |
Our little boat caught in the ebb and the flow |
On the seas of wine where time has but forgotten us |
Forced to be in the wrong place |
Being forced to fit, being forced to taste |
Misguided moment, I was caught |
By the sound of a bell on a police car |
The scars, fresh upon my hands |
The child emerges, a new born man |
Vandals and martyrs, ragged purist stands |
Eyes wide like saucers rake the land |
