History has drawn these lines across my face With bones through flesh, and will it always be this way? A change of hands again, clandestine operative You gun me down when I've got nothing left to give A tragedy is written Inked in red Words bleed onto pages I try to raise the dead I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies I'm running through the forests in the dead of night Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light But there just don't seem to be any signs of life So here I go again, I'm crawling on my knees Through the jagged era of uncertainty With my incompetence, it's painted on my face And I am left here wondering when I'll leave this place I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies I'm running through the forests in the dead of night Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light But there just don't seem to be any signs of life Woah, as it seems that this life is waking dream Ohh, as it seems that this life is waking dream I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies I'm running through the forests in the dead of night Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light But there just don't seem to be any signs of life
