Left on my own don't know where I should begin to look it's involuntary instinct Controls my every footstep, westward through haze The voice of shadows whispers in my ears Alaskan forests to the sea
Keeping all faith alive I fall into the rain Let me go, let me go Oh my soul drenched in the rain - the rain
I light two candles in the window of my mind The wind that threatens I've no words left to describe Resisting the fates When mercy comes to shelter me Over and over I am witness to the signs Evil's more focused as we near the end of times Praying so hard that your shelter comes to cover me
What kind of world is this that It should come down to this oh Each day the pressure building In Biblical proportion I've seen extremes from love to war They both are walking here And echoing prophetic song
Plagues and famine and hate All fall into the rain, let it go, let it go The whole world floods in the rain - the rain
We lose horizons they just vanish as we run Chess moves in silence glacial patience under gun The marching of time When mercy comes to shelter me Fragments of truth are out there blowing in the wind I cry for loved ones and removal of the sting I just can't let go Your shelter comes to cover me
In desperation we make moves and never know Their antidote is poison and my blood runs cold Stoking the flames When mercy comes to shelter me You want the truth but do you want insanity? Peering 'round corners paranoid calamity Hold on to what's real Your shelter comes to cover me
Finally in death do you become as once in life Evil for evil do you pay the highest price Just let it burn When mercy comes to shelter me My flesh and blood it's all that's left my heritage From life to death to dust so through the woods I search Complete disconnect Your shelter comes to cover me
