Sometimes it seems as if the rain wonand't stop. skies falling down in flames.
sometimes i think that the rain wonand't stop, and weand're caught up in foolish games.
a tear falls down amongst the clouds, as you weep in fear and pain.
a bridge to cross, an obstacle found. my face bleeding from this rain.
and all the time you see my eyes with a spark of new beginning.
so sorrowful as the temper flies, a maze, your world of sinning.
and all the haters fail to see the path where true love dwells.
and all the things you hoped youand'd be may burn with the flames of hell.
[cry for life]
[you, me beyond the seas of lies]
[cry for life]
[you, me beyond the seas of lies]
dirty, filthy from the thoughts inside, the shame painted in red on your face.
bitter with the ties to the lies, eyes wide since i had that taste.
if you were me and i were you, never having this confrontation.
iand'd strive to realize and find out why you donand't carry out the proclamation.
in my shoes iand've seen the best. but the filth along the way.
the drugs, the sex, and all the rest, still remains loud present day.
but my eyes grow weary quick, searching for light inside.
crying, your tears so thick. buckle up, come along for the ride.
chorus
[close, close your eyes]
[close, close your eyes]
(lightening strikes) lightening strikes and i close my eyes tight
for the vision of you in this deep, dark night
battered hard with the worlds filthy offerings.
blood -bathed with his wrists as the angels sing.
sick, fed up with this day to day life.
trying to proclaim, let them see your light.
disappoint in my quarters, all alone,
a bright light, stop the press, hold the phone.
your wide palm of love, descend from above.
your love, truth, lord, what dreams is made of,
lead the path, pull the wool from my eyes.
such a black, such a pity, my disguise.
my eyes tempted, but permanently lifted,
check out the son because his light i see so vivid.
your love, your truth, lord, all iand'm gonna need.
you pull me up, standing straight on my feet.
chorus
crying, thick tears,40 oz. beers iand've seen you for all these years,
dying, quick years, so near, donand't go on like no one cares.
dear god, iand've done all that i could do. [running for your life]
all my troubles and all the times, they reject you.
dear god, what else is there to do? [running for you life]
here they are, in my hands, i lift them up to you.
running for your life, eyes wide this time running for your life, eyes wide.
running for your life, eyes wide this time running for your life.
