Set me aflame and cast me free.
|
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
|
Through the endless night and day
|
I have never wanted more.
|
Always thought that I would stand
|
before the faceless name of justice.
|
Like some law unto myself,
|
like a child of God again.
|
|
And if rain brings winds of change
|
let it rain on us forever.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
With this line I'll mark the past
|
as a symbol of beginning.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
|
In this picture stands a man,
|
far away, alone and distant.
|
Like a solitary field
|
in some nameless foreign land.
|
All around the points of light
|
start to dim and cease transmitting.
|
Shadows fell on futile games
|
and then there was nothing more.
|
|
Through the screams of falling steel.
|
By the light of flares and wisdom.
|
All the doubts I could not face.
|
All this time I wanted more.
|
With a line I'll mark the past
|
as a symbol of beginning.
|
To the gods whose names we've lost
|
and the names who gave in vain.
|
|
And if rain brings winds of change
|
let it rain on us forever.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
With this line I'll mark the past
|
as a symbol of beginning.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
|
Set me aflame and cast me free.
|
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
|
Through the endless night and day
|
I have never wanted more.
|
Always thought that I would stand
|
before the faceless name of justice.
|
|
Like some law unto myself,
|
like a child of God again.
|
|
And if rain brings winds of change
|
let it rain on us forever.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
With this line I'll mark the past
|
as a symbol of beginning.
|
I have no doubt from what I've seen
|
that I have never wanted more.
|
|
Sever the line to the guilty past,
|
to the ones who brought us nothing
|
Spoke of futures brave and proud
|
and brought only hate and war.
|
Lined the roads with hollow praise.
|
Marked the land with paper statues.
|
|
Shadows fell on their futile ways
|
and then there was nothing more.
