Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element Lyrics
Yesterday found him todayCaught him at his last breathThese walls built to stand come-what-mayLie shattered in the ashesHis skin against this dirty floorEyes fixed on the ceilingHe has stretched those chains of sinFar beyond all feelingsStill, so still...In his head a thunderousCry of desperationTearing voices from his pastScream for his attentionBehind those eyes a world explodesNo one there to save himAll pain that he's been passing onAnswers to his cravingOnce moreI will never leave this shame...Falling beyond the point of no returnNothing to become and nothing left to burnStealing meaning from this childWe took away his reasonHis soul put under lock and keyHis heart blackened from treasonBut if you take from those you fearEverything they valueYou have bred the perfect beastDrained enough to kill youFalling beyond the point of no returnNothing to become and nothing left to burnWatching unseen untouched bleedingEmpty exposed dying eyes closedOnce he had forests and mountainsThat were only his - listening to himOnce he would run through the summer daysCatching memories for ages to comeNow he is dressing this ***** floorWith his flesh and blood, and times passes byHis trade of pain might just have lead himTo deal with consequenceFor some change as time passes byI am the waking child(Lingering, climbing, clinging, clutchingCraving, clawing, hurting, falling down)I, the wayward son of a mountain lake(Of icy liquor tears, of a silent Earth)(Of a rusty lid, of a wingless wind)(Of an eyeless storm, of fallen gods,who lost their way)I set myself on fireTo breed the Perfect ElementWill I ever walk again?Falling far beyond the point of no returnNothing to become and nothing left to burn(This is the end)Nothing left to say,The pain will go awayNow you must surely see,That you are killing meYou are killing meNow you are killing me(You must never leave this shame!)Now you are killing me(You must never leave this shame!)Now you are killing me(You must never leave this shame!)Is this more than you want?
