The Perfect Element |
| Yesterday found him today |
| Caught him at his last breath |
| These walls built to stand come-what-may |
| Lie shattered in the ashes |
| His skin against this dirty floor |
| Eyes fixed on the ceiling |
| He has stretched those chains of sin |
| Far beyond all feelings |
| Still, so still |
| In his head a thunderous |
| Cry of desperation |
| Tearing voices from his past |
| Scream for his attention |
| Behind those eyes a world explodes |
| No one there to save him |
| All pain that he’s been passing on |
| Answers to his craving |
| Once more |
| I will never leave this shame |
| Falling far beyond the point of no return |
| Nothing to become and nothing left to burn |
| Stealing meaning from this child |
| We took away his reason |
| His soul put under lock and key |
| His heart blackened from treason |
| But if you take from those you fear |
| Everything they value |
| You have bred the perfect beast |
| Drained enough to kill you |
| Falling far beyond the point of no return |
| Nothing to become and nothing left to burn |
| Watching |
| Unseen |
| Untouched |
| Bleeding |
| Empty |
| Exposed |
| Dying |
| Eyes closed |
| Once he had forests and mountains |
| That were only his, listening to him |
| Once he would run through the summer days |
| Catching memories for ages to come |
| Now he is dressing this naked floor |
| With his flesh and blood, and times passes by |
| His trade of pain might just have lead him |
| To deal with consequence |
| For some change as time passes by |
| I am the waking child |
| (Lingering, climbing, clinging, clutching |
| Craving, clawing, hurting, falling down) |
| I, the wayward son of a mountain lake |
| (Of icy liquor tears, of a silent Earth) |
| (Of a rusty lid, of a wingless wind) |
| (Of an eyeless storm, of fallen gods |
| Who lost their way) |
| I set myself on fire |
| To breed the Perfect Element |
| Will I ever walk again? |
| Falling far beyond the point of no return |
| Nothing to become and nothing left to burn |
| (This is the end) |
| Nothing left to say |
| The pain will go away |
| Now you must surely see |
| That you are killing me |
| You are killing me |
| Now you are killing me |
| (You must never leave this shame) |
| (Is this more than you want?) |
