I will lead you on

And the weight will break your bones

I'm a town all red with rust

Was I good or good enough?

How many times, how many times will a son forget his mother?

How many lives, how many lives can he live beside his lover?

I was holding something beautiful and bright

I was frightened but I did not hide

Speaking holy words the veil fell from my eyes

And I knew the hand I held so tight.

I will drink a lake

If it means my family's safe

Like a beast, ruthless and blind

I became their sacrifice.

How many times, how many times did I tell you I'd recover?

How many lives, how many lives did it take to find each other?

I was holding something beautiful and bright

I was frightened but I did not hide

Speaking holy words the veil fell from my eyes

And I knew the hand I held so tight.

It was you, always you

It was you, always you

I was holding something beautiful and bright

I was frightened but I did not hide.
