One child stood before the altar |
|
One child stood out in the rain |
|
One child spent his time imagining |
|
And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a... |
|
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line |
|
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find |
|
A tunnel out so we all can be saved |
|
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave |
|
One child hid inside the darkness |
|
One child never said a thing |
|
One child closed his eyes and disappeared |
|
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper... |
|
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line |
|
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find |
|
A tunnel out so we all can be saved |
|
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave |
|
I will believe in you |
|
If you still want me to |
|
Or tell me I'm on my own |
|
There on the other side |
|
Tell me the Pilate's died |
|
And we're no longer alone |
|
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care |
|
I have held on to your words until I found them only air |
|
What good are your promises if you can always take them back? |
|
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding |
|
I will believe in you |
|
If you still want me to |
|
Or tell me I'm on my own |
|
There on the other side |
|
Tell me the Pilate's died |
|
And we're no longer alone |
|
I will believe in you (We had no choice but to stay and follow) |
|
If you still want me to (We have nothing left except tomorrow) |
|
Or tell me I'm on my own (We have nothing left except what will be) |
|
There on the other side (What we need here are some real decisions) |
|
Tell me the Pilate's died (While you only offer mindless visions) |
|
And we're no longer alone (Visions that nobody else here can see) |
