Lyrics What If - Blind Ego

What If

As I stand in the moonlight shine
On a slope where the ocean sprays up
Endless waves meet sands ashore,
I see the clouds and the stars all blurred
The wind brings untold tales — Full of suffering and sighs
The souls might have cried in silence — But never heard
The wind brings unseen pictures — With violence and pain
The souls might have cried in silence — But never seen
The dust falls to the ground — Into the earth it fades
And empty are my hands — Now, so is my mind
It’s easier to kill — The creatures in my dreams
Than drag me from myself — And be left on the shelf
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
What if I don’t want to carry my shame?
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
And in the end you’ll take the blame
The cliffs just break the waves — Unmoved by nature’s might
Through days of roaring peace — Before the night must fall
The blood spills on the shore — I know it’s there to stay
I walk towards the flame — Can I avoid the game?
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
What if I don’t want to carry my shame?
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
And in the end you’ll take the blame
Faces fade as the days go by
And the eyes turn to mirrors of blind
Uncried tears vanish in the light
I feel the lust on the edge of the blade
The wind brings haunting memories — Of the house that burned down
The souls might have cried in silence — But never loved
The wind brings accusations — For those that survived
The souls might have cried in silence — But no one cared
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
What if I don’t want to carry my shame?
What if I wasn’t bound to fail
Put myself through all the pain?
And in the end you’ll take the blame
