Your Pain Is Mine

Lyrics

[Intro] Screams from the embers of the fire A fading light of a lost empire [Verse 1] Collapsed in timeless haze Lanterns below the caves Shine no light for the shadow man The path to amnesty Littered in unmarked graves The innocent swallowed in sand [Pre-Chorus] The hand that grasps for life Severed clean by the knife With every cut so deep How sound the sheltered sleep Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call I hear they sing in heaven We'll never hear the song [Chorus] Your pain is mine I am you in another life Your pain is mine We were one long ago Before the earth stole our souls Your pain is mine [Post-Chorus] Every god says farewell to their sons When the bombs come, run [Verse 2] Isolation in a swarm of bullets Another infant chokes on the halos of smoke I never saw the truth but now I know it Consume our sanity We've torn apart society [Pre-Chorus] The hand that grasps for life Severed clean by the knife With every cut so deep How sound the sheltered sleep Deaf ears to the ring of the siren's call I hear they sing in heaven We'll never hear the song [Chorus] Your pain is mine I am you in another life Your pain is mine We were one long ago Before the earth stole our souls [Bridge] Painted pictures always seem serene But the reality is much harsher to see And I need you to know That help is out of my reach Or at least believe me I wished that you'd find peace But there's no action in a thought Simply lost at sea Of undeniable complacency and treachery And I plead that you were given just a chance to be free Maybe in time, but know I tried Your pain is mine [Outro] Run like your life depends on it Because one day it will I'm sorry child The world wasn't there to pick up the pieces It never will
