Looking back into light Once named as peace Looking back from the dark Once named as fear Looking back into light Once named as love Looking back from the dark Once named as pain Looking back into light Once named as hope

Five steps further Further away from the edge Of what we once called light With every step I'm slipping further away from you I can still feel the coldness of that chair The coldness of the paradigm As I bowed my head down And whispered out His name Emptiness that came so violently Bareness of the paradigm As I only heard my words And the echoes of her wail The light Receding With every step I'm slipping further away from you Knelt and folded hands For the last time Whispered a prayer Cried out to him unanswered Small as I will ever be A comforting lap grew thorns Unifying song turned sour Driving nails through the palms In desperation reaching out for your help Casting stones with feeble hands Lifted up with your fears Driving nails through clean hands In desperation reaching out for your care With every step I'm slipping further away from you I can still feel the coldness of that chair The coldness of the paradigm As I bowed my head down And whispered out His name Emptiness that came so violently Bareness of the paradigm As I only heard my words And the echoes of her wail Knelt and folded hands For the last time Whispered a prayer Cried out to him unanswered Small as I will ever be

Time to leave and take my space Time will leave a bitter taste and open wounds The turning of tide seems faster Seems much faster now The circling of time seems tighter Much tighter now Time to leave and take my space Time will leave a bitter taste and open wounds The turning of tide seems faster Seems much faster now The circling of time seems tighter Much tighter now Floes drifting apart We just stood there Wind in our eyes Not knowing that we would be drawn Drawn apart Keep following the time Keep following the tide of time The damage done The violence of all that deafening silence The damage done The violence of all those good intentions With every step I'm slipping further away from you The turning of tide seems faster Seems much faster now The circling of time seems tighter Seems much tighter now

The Devil's finest trick Was to persuade the world That He was not made up by man It's getting harder and harder To make sense To read your words To swallow your oil Short-sighted Ill-tempered Greed-ridden Unwilling and unable We chose to believe We are not the same We chose not to be A family again With every step I'm slipping further away from you We chose to believe We are not the same We chose not to be A family again There will be punishment There will be an end Oh and it will come to you It will come to me It's getting harder Harder to make sense To read your words To swallow your oil We chose to believe We are not the same We chose not to be A family again With every step I'm slipping further away from you

Eight steps further Further away From the rock we once built on Who do I trust if not you? Who do I build on? Who do I lean on if not you? Who do I search for? To speak To open up oneself Is to offer up a neck And if the teeth are sharpened And mouth thirsty for blood Letters become words Words evolve into phrases Like spreading weeds with lives of their own Doubts become truths Thoughts into intentions Like rogue waves with lives of their own Then we move in Ready for the kill Then we move in Not ready to die To speak To open up oneself Is to offer up a neck And if the teeth are sharpened And mouth thirsty for blood Who do I trust in if not you? Who do I build on? Who do I lean on if not you? Who do I search for? With every step I'm slipping further away from you
