lyrics
They had us hiding in the cellars as they marched
The rhythm of their steps, we're crouching in the dark
Around a single flame, a fading candle light
Is calling to the vain, is crying to the night
I had a vision once, of what's behind the clouds
An open, empty space; the feeling of falling down
Down to a warm embrace; a stable, sturdy plane
A certain comfort in that there's nothing worse than pain
Down where a garden grows, a lonely child cries
No one to till the earth, with sympathetic eyes
No one to bear the fruit, to pick it from the branch
The hunger picks up steam; the ache, the avalanche
You know the lonely road will lead to cities of gold
You know the lonely road will leave you cursing the horizon line
We live inside a flame, we lived inside a flood
They used our names in vain, no mercy shown for us
And in the breaking dawn, a broken life resides
Don't pull the curtains back, don't open up your eyes
There was a story of a capsized ship
By currents, dragged far out to sea
Eleven men clinging to the hull with nothing left to eat
Listing the names of whom they're soon to meet
You know the lonely road will lead to cities of gold
You know the lonely road will leave you cursing the horizon line
The scorching sun, now it's scraping across a blistered sky
Appears indifferent, we avert our eyes
Whisper "salvation", in your bed you lie
Hoping someone takes your hand
The scorching road, shows no pity on our blistered feet
Appears indifferent, but we still appease
Whisper "salvation", put yourself at ease
Still hoping someone takes your hand
A fools embrace, is not knowing when you stand alone
Please reconsider all the things you're shown
Whisper "salvation" to a pile of bones
See if someone takes your hand
You know the lonely road will lead to cities of gold
You know the lonely road will leave you cursing the horizon line
