Morphine Child

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] There's a thief on a summer's night across an ocean Who sees another's life fading away And of this life he writes, without emotion Then pushes it from sight somewhere faraway To a distant land, every tear betrayed [Chorus] And never makes, and never makes And never makes, and never makes a stand Never makes a stand, Lord there's something wrong Never makes a stand, no [Verse 2] Could a star's forgotten light, a child's devotion Embrace eternal night in shallow graves As we watch from distant heights, no breath or motion Still every ghost must haunt in its own way Sleep beneath my dreams, safe within my hands [Chorus] Where I never under, never under Never under, never understand Never understand, Lord there's something wrong Never understand [Verse 3] No one remembers, no one denies No one asks questions, no one replies Here nothing enters, nothing departs Here nothing's ended if nothing starts [Verse 4] In your life could you carry on Could you never think about it till in time you start to doubt it Then you close your eyes, is it really gone? How in truth can you defend her if you're really not remembering [Verse 5] No regrets if you just forget If a memory is lenient you can find it most convenient So you let it fade, till it's very vague Just a silhouette of shadows but the shadows are still lingering [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo: Al Pitrelli] [Verse 6] Still I hold you there With your endless stare I'm too old to be living this, lived to long to be given this Can our god be forgiving this [Verse 7] I had a light that shined Across my mind, rarely see it any more Now it is mostly dark Except for sparks, can't remember what they're for [Verse 8] I am the morphine child The dream defiled, the never ending metaphor I am the wizard Oz Result and cause, never look behind that door [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Bridge] Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Cantations, cantations Never listen to the crowd before me (Cantations, cantations) Never listen to the self ordained (Cantations, cantations) Never really wanted to believe it anyway (Cantations, cantations) (Cantations, cantations) Never listen to the crowd before me (Cantations, cantations) Never listen to the self ordained (Cantations, cantations) Never really wanted to believe it anyway (Cantations, cantations) (Cantations, cantations) (Never listen to the crowd before me) Time is fading (Cantations, cantations) (Never listen to the self ordained) Night is calling (Cantations, cantations) (Never really wanted to believe it anyway) I am on my way (Cantations, cantations) (Cantations, cantations) (Never listen to the crowd before me) Time is fading (Cantations, cantations) (Never listen to the self ordained) Night is calling (Cantations, cantations) (Never really wanted to believe it anyway) I am on my way (Cantations, cantations) (Cantations, cantations) (Never listen to the crowd before me) Time is fading (Cantations, cantations; Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around) (Never listen to the self ordained) Night is calling (Cantations, cantations; Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around) (Never really wanted to believe it anyway) I am on my way (Cantations, cantations; Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around) (Cantations, cantations; Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around) (Never listen to the crowd before me) Time is fading (Cantations, cantations; Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around) (Never listen to the self ordained) Night is calling (Cantations; Turn around, turn around) I am on my [Instrumental Outro]
