lyrics:

EYES FIXED STILL ON THE CEILING
TIME'S BEEN CAUGHT BY SURPRISE
NO ONE HAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO PASS US BY

ONCE EVERY DREAM HAD ITS MEANING
AND WRONG WAS DIVIDED FROM RIGHT
LIVING THOSE KARMIC DAYS WE'VE LEARNT TO DEFY

WITH YEARS WHICH ARE CLAIMING MORE MISTAKES
AND THE BORDER'S SHORTER THAN OUR MEMORY DENIED

WHY LIVES BEFORE MINE
HAD LEFT NO TRACES ON THE CROSSROADS THAT I FIND
OR ARE WE JUST RESIGNED TO DECODE THE MESSAGE
ON HOW FRAGILE AN AMBITION CAN BE
BEFORE IT FAILS CARVING ITS STONE
ON THIS GREEN VIRGIN SOIL...

...BURNING FAST WHAT WE HAVE SAWN
SAFE WE WAIT FOR ALLIES UNTIL OUR INNOCENCE IS GONE
...AND AS WE LEARN THAT THIS RIDE HURTS
WE ONLY LOSE OURSELVES AMONG THESE CHOICES AND PATTERNS
WATCHING THE SANDS FALL DOWN

SMALL FLASH OF COLD LIGHT CAN FIRE
CHILD'S VULNERABLE EYES
SOON IT WILL LEARN HOW THAT SHINING MAY HARM

HOW PRAYERS SEEM TO LOSE ALL THEIR MEANING
AND WRONG CAN MERGE INTO RIGHT
CONFUSED WE PAY FOR A DOSE OF LOST CHARM
