Eb5 D5.... Eb5 D5..... The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer Torn apart by chains of hell One last perfect verse is still the same old song Oh, Christ, how I hate what I have become Take me home.... Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, one for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world My home was there n' then Those meadows of Heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right Take me home.... Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, one for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Spar....kle my scen....ery with turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The Ever Free...... Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the pain Beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade......my lullaby..... One the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all................... "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid...............

Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he's home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell tolling for his farewell The morning dawned upon his alter Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, one for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world "Today, in the year of our Lord 2005..."
