Do you remember standing on a broken field White crippled wings beating the sky The harbingers of war with their nature revealed And our chances flowing by
If I can let the memory heal I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone You were there by my side on the frontline When I thought that I fought without a cause You gave me a reason to try
Turn the page I need to see something new For now my innocence is torn We cannot linger on this stunted view Like rabid dogs of war
I will let the memory heal I will remember you with me on that field
When I thought that I fought this war alone You were there by my side on the frontline And we fought to believe the impossible When I thought that I fought this war alone We were one with our destinies entwined When I thought that I fought without a cause You gave me the reason why
With no-one wearing their real face It's a whiteout of emotion And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
When the love in letters fade It's like moving in slow motion And we're already too late if we arrive at all
And then we're caught up in the arms race An involuntary addiction And we're shedding every value our mothers taught
So will you please show me your real face Draw the line in the horizon Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
A thousand years, a thousand more, A thousand times a million doors to eternity I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times An endless turning stairway climbs To a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars, The towers rise to numberless floors in space I could shed another million tears, a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to faceA million roads, a million fears A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies, a million songs, A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth, a single light A single thought, a singular touch of grace Then following this single point , this single flame, The single haunted memory of your face I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my headI may be numberless, I may be innocent I may know many things, I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief I've kept this single faith, I have but one beliefI still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid 'Til you love me
