Faithless Sanctuary

I remember a simpler time for which I still yearn Willow trees sway by the lake, memories like ashes burn Seasons passed and the years went by, dreams without an end Every day the sun would shine, bliss running through my hands Somewhere down my beaten path Shadows were freed from my cage I gave in and then let go Surrendered to the unknown This bird has flown I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can’t hide, shadows are everywhere We’ll get knocked down, put aside our fears We don’t need no sympathy The cross we bear A faithless sanctuary Blind help the blind, lead the way To the light, so out of sight I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can’t hide, shadows are everywhere Live and learn, nothing in return Hope is no concern, I found the truth at last Please don’t listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead Take what you have, you’ve got to live in the moment Tear off those chains that confine you Nothing will lead you astray anymore Please don’t listen to a word I said Listen to the voice inside instead ‘Cause the truth’s not in the words you’ve read Nevermind the past, just look ahead I can close my eyes, ghosts are always there I can’t hide, shadows are everywhere Live and learn, nothing in return Hope is no concern, I found the truth at last
