now we are drifting through the skies we have made
with all the stains we had allowed
we left the strife down in the vale of a fear
home of the one who´s lashing thoughts
this verity is cutting me
and it´s sounding like a lash
so take your time before we bury your hopes
to rival waters with our vast
»I close my eyes and change the sky then» you said
meanwhile a thought convulsed in pain
this verity is killing me
and it´s sounding like a lash
this verity is blinding me
and it´s striking like a flash
