My chest is open My heart's on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound No one to reach for even though I stretched too far No sky to warm me up As darkness clouds the blue I'm leaving I couldn't live with the shame No more denying I've stopped the search for blame Heading for virgin soil Set foot on sacred ground And with no one to reach for No no one Twentyseven years of falling Twentyseven winters slave Twentyseven years of dreaming And this is all the strength life gave Twentyseven summers weaker And the autumn's just the same Twentyseven years And if you'd ask then I'd deny that I didn't have the strength to fight that drowning weakness And I buried all signs to cover what I feel underneath The hollow remains of me My chest is open My heart's on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound And there will be no tomorrow Won't see the light of day No more pain and no sorrow I'm free from the words that you could say Twentyseven years of falling Twentyseven winters slave Twentyseven years of dreaming And this is all the strength life gave Twentyseven summers weaker And the autumn's just the same Twentyseven years
