There's a thief on a summer's night

Across an ocean

Who sees another's life fading away



And of this life he writes

Without emotion

Then pushes it from sight

Somewhere faraway

To a distant land

Every tear betrayed

And never makes

And never makes

And never makes

And never makes a stand

Makes a stand

Lord there's something wrong

Makes a stand



Could a star's forgotten light

A child's devotion

Embrace eternal night

In shallow graves



As we watch from distant heights

No breath or motion

Still every ghost must haunt in its own way

Sleep beneath my dreams

Safe within my hands

Where i never under

Never under

Never understand



Lord there's something wrong



No one remembers

No one denies

No one asks questions

No one replies



Here nothing enters

Nothing departs

Here nothing's ended

If nothing starts



In your life could you carry on

Could you never think about it

Till in time you start to doubt it



Then you close your eyes

Is it really gone

How in truth can you defend her

If you're really not remembering



No regrets

If you just forget

If a memory is lenient

You can find it most convenient

So you let it fade

Till it's very vague

Just a silhouette of shadows

But the shadows are still lingering



Still i hold you there

With your endless stare



I'm too old to be living this

Lived to long to be given this

Can our god be forgiving this



I had a light that shined

Across my mind

Rarely see it any more



Now it is mostly dark

Accept for sparks

Can't remember what they're for



I am the morphine child

The dream defiled

The never ending metaphor

I am the wizard oz

Result and cause

Never look behind that door



Cantations

Cantations

Cantations

Cantations



Never listen to the crowd before me

Never listen to the self ordained

Never really wanted to believe it any way



Time is fading

Night is calling

I am on my way



Turn around turn around

Turn around turn around



Time is fading

Night is calling

I am on my ...
