Feeling of desire
Will never take me higher
And a feeling of despair
From batteries, societal flares
I'm fusion, I am cells
A Chinese form of hell
You'll love me till the end
You'll hold me till the motherboard's dead
Craft of breaking hands
Sweat a dying brand
With all my love honey
Now this is yours honey
Sync me to your brain
I thought I saw you
Look into my sullen eyes
Hold me here, despite my life
We're alive
Perfection in my hands
You're the only brand
I could ever see
This is all we'll ever be
I am now complete
The metal and the sheets
I'll never be far
I'll always feel new in the dark
‘Attach yourself today’
With sacrifice crawling
You know it’s me sprawling
Your golden frame calling
We were blown away
I thought I heard you say
Look into my sullen eyes
Hold me here, despite my life
We're alive
Reverence falls, life’s crystal call
The silent sound, lost and then found
My ship has lost the light
The sails they shadow us
A resting place so plagued
The dreams are torn, my fright
Only the night, hold the mast so tight
In my mind, don’t fear your find
In the withered cave
With no one left to save
You walk alone in white
A darkness on my sight
On my own love, hands that clasped lost
The sky will fade grey, now I hear you say
All these broken masks, crushing my last
Haunted hide away
Hide it, hide it
Through that old love, my reverence falls
The silence screeching, voices screaming
All these broken masks, killing my last
Hour of hope
Hide it, hide it
I’ve left the place though I am not free
My chains are broken yet I still cannot be
All locks smashed though I still guard the key
My captor now, with the grave
The ghost pleads but I won’t save
Now walk to that lonely place
The lights, at my window fade
Only whispers that wish to stay
I hope – they never find the place
The place is cold, oh know
Constant cold
I kill my chance to break the bars
Lead in my mouth and the only scar
All that was – I feel from afar
Concrete road, that I must walk
I get halfway and I’m forced to stop
Cracks in life shatter ground and I drop
The lights, at my window fade
Only whispers that wish to stay
I hope – they never find the place
The place is cold, oh know
Constant cold
Crying on your knees, take me back there please
If fate is all you need, why’d you break it at the seams
The dirt that stains your hands, a cryptic fade away
You wash the colour off, but the feeling is there to stay
And tears that touch the ground grow roses every day
The thorns they cut the ties, happiness thrown away
The lights, at my window fade
Only whispers that wish to stay
I hope – they never find the place
The place is cold, oh know
Constant cold
And love won’t leave me alone…

Well... Like some people here, I never really liked that song! However, this is *so* much better than the original, for all the reasons already listed by deluded_marxist! The depth of feelings here, especially from the vocals but also the slow music, really is on a whole other level! Thanks to Tara Tantrum for taking me here! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
