Scarlet Heavens
All is black, like the crows, stiff my neck as it bows.
On my knees I will play among death and decay,
And it blackens the sun as the end has begun.
I never saw the mighty spirits
That gathered now to purity the world.
It is the time of the changing season,
The cleaning hands of water. Wind and fire - feel the fire.
Winter rides the wings of heaven
Sorrow marches through the land.
This is the beginning of the end.
And the flood rises higher, swallows cities alive.
Still the flames' hunger grows, t
Half-Life
This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all,
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile
But it's just not from the heart,
I'm wrong for the part --
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances
And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream
Of brakin' away
*Are we all livin' a half-life,
No point of dimension,
Trying to find our way,
Do we search in the dark,
You and I, livin' a half-life,
beyond our pretension,
We're much the same
We search for the spark*
Behind the smoke screen around me,
There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine --
We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme
And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances
And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream
Of breakin' the chains
(* Repeat)
And I work like a dog to get even,
Take my chances and go on believin'
Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away,
