As I stand in the moonlight shine On a slope where the ocean sprays up Endless waves meet sands ashore, I see the clouds and the stars all blurred The wind brings untold tales - Full of suffering and sighs The souls might have cried in silence - But never heard The wind brings unseen pictures - With violence and pain The souls might have cried in silence - But never seen The dust falls to the ground - Into the earth it fades And empty are my hands - Now, so is my mind It's easier to kill - The creatures in my dreams Than drag me from myself - And be left on the shelf What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? What if I don't want to carry my shame? What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? And in the end you'll take the blame The cliffs just break the waves - Unmoved by nature's might Through days of roaring peace - Before the night must fall The blood spills on the shore - I know it's there to stay I walk towards the flame - Can I avoid the game? What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? What if I don't want to carry my shame? What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? And in the end you'll take the blame Faces fade as the days go by And the eyes turn to mirrors of blind Uncried tears vanish in the light I feel the lust on the edge of the blade The wind brings haunting memories - Of the house that burned down The souls might have cried in silence - But never loved The wind brings accusations - For those that survived The souls might have cried in silence - But no one cared What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? What if I don't want to carry my shame? What if I wasn't bound to fail Put myself through all the pain? And in the end you'll take the blame
