Lyrics

[Part i: awaiting judgement]

I sit by the stream and raise my head
The stream flows east..
And I notice the breeze blows the trees
In the same way
So I raise my head high
As I close my eyes
I begin to run as fast as I can
Into the night
I sit and I wait for judgement
I sit and I wait for judgement soon
As I run into the night
The wind is at my back
Although petrified
The dreams that many can't outlast
So you think that life is just a game
But have you ever thought
With struggle comes lots of pain
Now you know what I'm talking about
You feel it running through your veins, don't you?
Oh, the feelings many must ignore..
All my life I have tried
To overcome this empty side of my mind
Ooh never run, 'cause you can't hide
Now it seems you call out
Test my will of all mankind
Youth you test me
In all these words
Somebody must have heard them
This bleeding heart that's mine
Somewhere it must start
Now it seems
All of us are here..
We move in the same way
Now it seems
All our feelings are dear
We move in the same way up
We move in the same way up
Now it seems you call out..
Youth you test me
In all these words
Somebody must have heard them
This bleeding heart that's mine
Somewhere, it must start..
Test my will..
Of all man kind

[Part ii: a struggle within]

[Instrumental]

[Part iii: the distant light]

Thirty-six months have past along
And during this time..
We struggled on, and struggled on
Exhaling pain
Paving roads in the mind
Since we were young
Now we'll make the dreams
Come alive through you
For the answer lies inside
Open your mind and we'll find
That it's easier
Well, if I could turn back time
I'd replay the memories left behind
Then change the way I am
Although life has scarred my heart
A piece of me still burns bright inside
With hopes that I will find it (the dreams I have at night)
Only time will tell what lies ahead
Only you can fill the page of life
So we raise our heads high
As we close our eyes
We'll begin to run as fast as we can
Into the night
We sit and we wait for judgement
We sit and we wait judgement soon
So we'll raise our heads high
As we close our mind
We'll begin to run as fast as
We can into the night
Now it seems you call out
Test my will
Of all mankind, youth you test me
In all these words
Somebody must have heard them
This bleeding heart that's mine
Somewhere it must start
Please show me the way home

[Part iv: as the candle burns...]
