When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea / Hoping to find
some comfort there yearning to feel free / And we were mesmerized by the
lull of the night and the smells that filled the air / And we layed us
down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care // CHORUS : And we
were drawn to the rhythm / Drawn to the rhythm of the sea / And we were
drawn to the rhythm / Drawn to the rhythm of the sea // We fell asleep
and began to dream when something broke the night / Memories stirred inside
of us the struggle and the fight / And we could feel the heat of a thousand
voices telling us which way to go / And we cried out is there no escape
from the words that plague us so // CHORUS // In the still and silent dawn
another day is born / Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and
torn / When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only
to find / That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind
// CHORUS
Mother teach me to walk again / Milk and honey so intoxicating // CHORUS
: And into the fire / I'm reunited / Into the fire / I am the spark / Into
the fire / I yearn for comfort // Open the doors that lead on in to Eden
/ Don't want no cheap disguise / I follow the signs marked back to the
beginning / No more compromise // CHORUS // Free the water that carries
me to the sea / You I see as my security // CHORUS // I will stare into
the sun until its light doesn't blind me / I will walk into the fire until
its heat doesn't burn me / And I will feed the fire // CHORUS
I knew you wanted to tell me / In your voice there was something wrong
/ But if you would turn your face away from me / You cannot tell me you're
so strong / Just let me ask of you one small thing / As we have shared
so many tears / With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long / Now
are scattered on the wind... // CHORUS : In the terms of endearment / In
the terms of the life that you love / In the terms of the years that pass
you by / In the terms of the reasons why // Through the years I've grown
to love you / Though your commitment to most would offend / But I stuck
by you holding on with my foolish pride / Waiting for you to give in...
/ You never really tried or so it seems / I've had more than myself to
blame / I've had enough of trying everything / And this time it is the
end... // CHORUS // There's no more coming back this way / The path is
overgrown and strewn with thorns / They've torn the life-blood from your
naked eyes / Cast aside to be forlorn... // CHORUS // Funny, how it seems
that all I've tried to do / Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping / Your body gripped
by some far away dream / Well I was so scared and so in love then / And
so lost in all of you that I had seen / But no one ever talked in the darkness
/ No voice ever added fuel to the fire / No light ever shone in the doorway
/ Deep in the hollow of earthly desires / But if in some dream there was
brightness / If in some memory some sort of sign / And flesh be revived
in the shadows / Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined // CHORUS : And
I will oh I will not forget you / Nor will I ever let you go / I will oh
I will not forget you // I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak
/ So silent you stole from my bed / To go back to the one who possesses
your soul / And I back to the life that I dread. / So I ran like the wind
to the water / Please don't leave me again I cried / And I threw bitter
tears at the ocean / But all that came back was the tide... // CHORUS
By the shadows of the night I go / I moved away from the crowded room
/ That sea of shallow faces masked in warm regret / They don't know how
to feel, they don't know what is lost // CHORUS / Lost in the darkness
of a land / Where all the hope that's offered is / Memories of being taken
by the hand / And we are led into the sun / But I don't have a hold on
what is real / Though we can only try / What is there to give or to believe
/ I want it all to go away I want to be alone / Sympathy's wasted on my
hollow shell / I feel there's nothing left to fight for / No reason for
a cause / And I can't hear your voice and I can't feel you near // CHORUS
// I wanted a change knowing all I could do was try / I was looking for
someone...
You open your eyes, look around / You feel the earth it wanders - /
Out, from under your feet - the ground / Is not firm but soft and weak
- like skin / Under the touch, cannot stop to falter / Now, the damage
is done the certainties gone / The spirits altered // CHORUS : And now
the angry morning / Gives the early signs of warning / You must face alone
the plans you make / Decisions they will try to break / Our hands are tied
on the table / Maybe you can try at the back door man // While the helpless
line up on the doorsteps / 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through
/ All of your life you've lived in a world as pure / As Eden's sixth day
- now all you've been allowed / Is taken away - they will not let you be
so proud / And you have felt the fear growing inside / Protest follows
far and wide - they'll see how long / It will take 'till you fall - from
so much denied / Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear / That they
will never guess - so unfair that / They can make you feel so small / And
the fear you know is real // CHORUS
They're crowded into the smallest spaces / While outside all of nature
cries / It's known to be cruel and unfair / But there is no place to hide
/ Oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share / Oh
I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there // CHORUS : Shelter
- give them shelter from the coming storm / Shelter - give them shelter
from the coming storm // I can't sleep haunted by their faces / The sadness
in their eyes / It hurts so much to see them helpless / It makes me want
to cry / But still there is so much left unanswered / For so many innocent
lives / They close the doors and are letting nobody in / And only the strong
will survive // CHORUS // I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
/ And I've watched an existence torn apart by the seams / And though I
may seem helpless / I will do all that I can do / Oh I've seen a part of
people that I never really want to share / Oh I've seen a part of people
that I never knew was there // CHORUS
As the walls are closing in / And the colors fade to black / And my
eyes are falling fast and deep into me / And I follow the tracks that lead
me down / And I never follow what's right / And they wonder sometimes when
they see all the / Sadness and pain the truth begins to light // CHORUS
/ 'Cause I can't see no reason / What is blind cannot see / 'Cause I want
what is pleasin' / All I take should be free / What I rob from the innocent
ones / What I'd steal from the womb / If I cried me a river of all my confessions
/ Would I drown in my shallow regret / As the walls are closing in / And
the colors fade to black / And the night is falling fast and deep into
the sea / And in the darkness all that I can see / The frightened and the
weak / Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of / At mercy
are the meek // CHORUS
Child walks down to the river's edge / And looks out as far as she can
see / And draws each breath as if it were the last / And wipes away the
tears across her sleeve / She can see where the river crawls to the sea
/ Like a baby into mother's care / Somehow the longing is so far away /
The innocence so wasted and aware / And look at the child with the dream
in her eyes / Holding it deep inside her / Thinking about Home... Home...
/ So much anger so deeply ingrained / Seemed a burden that was hers alone
/ She didn't think that there was anything wrong / With wanting a life
that she could call her own / How could I explain? You would not want to
hear / You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway / For you were too weighed
down by your own fears / And look at the child with the dream in her eyes
/ Holding it deep inside her / Home... home... home... home...
Mercy - pure and simple / Longing - cold and hollow / With sweet breath
you'd come to warm me / But I held on too hard to only a memory / You lie
there on the swollen ground / Deserted in your heart / Still longing for
what yesterdays lost / And for all that tomorrow might bring / The passion
lost - taken, stolen / The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken
/ With kind words you'd come to soothe me / But I go blind and filled with
fear / Would send you away from me / There is no hope in regretting now
/ All the pain that we could not see / We both knew what we wanted / And
we took it believing it free / And we took it believing it free.
Color in sky prussian blue / Scarlet fleece changes hue / Crimson ball
sinks from view // CHORUS : Wear your love like heaven / Wear your love
like heaven / Wear your love like heaven // Lord kiss me once more / Fill
me with song / Allah kiss me once more / That I may, that I may / Wear
my love like heaven / Wear my love like heaven / Color sky havana lake
/ Color sky rose carmethene / Alizarian crimson // CHORUS // Lord kiss
me once more / Fill me with song / Allah kiss me once more / That I may,
that I may / Wear my love like heaven / Wear my love like heaven / Lord
kiss me once more / Fill me with song / Allah kiss me once more / That
I may, that I may / Wear my love like heaven / Wear my love like heaven
/ Cannot believe what I see / All I have wished for will be / All of our
race proud and free // CHORUS // Lord kiss me once more / Fill me with
song / Allah kiss me once more / That I may, that I may / Wear my love
like heaven / Wear my love like heaven
