Destiny's a road we ride, sight unseen, our thoughts untried
|
Through the years, a million miles, a trial of errors, a life of trials
|
There's a sign along the highway, there's a candle by my bed
|
There's a face in the doorway, and there's a price on my head
|
|
Sweet release, come in peace
|
Sweet release, won't you carry me on
|
Sweet release, my falls increase
|
Sweet release, I'm not that strong
|
|
Sex machine will break you down, strip you clean and take your crown
|
Wasted nights, rise and fall, one-way lights, they hide it all
|
Now I stand before the mirror, hold the candle to my face
|
I can feel the scars are burnin', but they don't leave a trace
|
|
Sweet release, rest in peace
|
Sweet release, I toss and turn
|
Sweet release, come and teach me
|
Sweet release, we never learn
|
|
Oh now, oh take me
|
|
(Na-na-na-na-na) Oh oh oh (Na-na-na-na-na) Oh oh oh
|
(Na-na-na-na-na) Oh oh oh (Na-na-na-na-na) Ohhhh oh
|
|
Black and white is black and red, none are right, but some are dead
|
Through every life the war drags on
|
Our hopes and dreams lie ripped and torn
|
|
Sweet release, give us peace
|
Sweet release, won't you carry me on
|
Sweet release, will it never cease
|
Sweet release, can't you see I'm not that strong
|
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
|
(Ohhh ohhh oh ohhhh oh oh ohhhh oh ohhhhh)
