How was I supposed to know That a wounded soul would heal so slow You needed love but love is dead Ready to paint the world in red Why did you ever let me see The death in life and the death in me The tears shall forever fall Why do I find it so hard to breathe And oh so easy to lie down and bleed Drained of joy and left to rot in hell There's nothing left but a soul to sell Why did you ever let me see The death in life and the death in me Bring forth the tears caressing My skin is pale and cold as ice Bring forth the healing winds of time This pain is both yours and mine In silence waits the weapon cold The key to freedom that I now hold A dying reflection of a wasted life My blood is ready to taste the knife Why did you ever let me see The death in life and the death in me Bring forth the tears caressing My skin is pale and cold as ice Bring forth the healing winds of time This pain is both yours and mine
