Strange Land - Ten

God laid waste

To this forsaken place

Forgotten, disgraced

Lovers lose and win

On the battlegrounds we sin

Face to face

A different time and space

I cut to the chase

Another chance is slim

Only I will not give in

What my words failed to say

Was ''I wanted to stay.

Let me in your arms again.

Take this changed man''

But you don’t feel the same

So my heart takes the blame (living without you)

And my broken dreams remain

In this strange land far away

The rain is like knives

Falling from the skies

Spawning enzymes

Passing through my skin

To the tired heart within

Shapes and sights

Raw and infinite

Soothe me inside

Battered, bruised of limb,

As the fight for life begins

What my words failed to say

Was ''I wanted to stay.

Let me in your arms again.

Take this changed man''

But you don’t feel the same

So my heart takes the blame (living without you)

And my broken dreams remain

In this strange land far away
