lyrics

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
