This is a vocal orientated track with a conventional arrangement. After a subdued intro, the following verse is suddenly supplanted by a huge chorus. A vocal bridge and lead guitar section follow the second chorus, and the song ends as it began.
Verse 1
I see the people on the street, they are the souls Ill never meet.
I feel a gentle breeze, a whisper on the wind.
I am the martyr that you keep.
I leave my legacy, a song that I will sing.
Bridge 1
The things I see, the things I do,
The lovers kiss that I give you,
You touch my heart, I touch your skin,
I cannot see the screams within.
Chorus 1
Maybe Ill see you again,
Maybe Ill hope, but in vein,
My life it leads me astray,
Lead me to glory today.
Verse 2
An open wound that never heals, a stone cast heart that never feels.
A lovers gaze you gave, the darkness pulls me in.
Bridge 2
A heart of darkness pulls me in,
It feels my soul, it sees my sin.
It calls me home, it calls me in,
I cannot carry on to think.
Chorus 2
Make me believe what you say,
Make me believe, make me stay.
My life it leads me away,
Show me your mercy today.
Epilogue
With my eyes I see my dreams, they pass me slowly by my window,
Shattered glass before me as the blood flows from the open story.
Waiting for the chapter where the past is but a sordid memory, Fading past the dancing flames the words you sing are all enchanting.
