Conflict - Climbing The Stairs lyrics

rate me

Standing alone in a mystery<br />

Standing alone in misery<br />

The start of the war, it's the first to die<br />

So on my own, in not the place to be<br />

First, I see visions of insane men unaware on the<br />

Stairs, caught by the same gang<br />

Pure hatred on young and aged faces there's one, two,<br />

Three, but they ain't leaving traces<br />

As someone pushes past, I'm caught right in their path.<br />

I try to respond, But this just raises a laugh<br />

A clenched fist punches hard, smashing the face<br />

I try to turn and run, but they're all over the place<br />

I'm pulling hard on the tair rail, but this ain't my<br />

Night my shirt rips in two, as they hold me so tight<br />

I feel a terrible blow, as something collides with<br />

Skull I fight back so hard, but the blades take their<br />

Toll so many shots on target, on the floor curled up<br />

Tight the crazed just won't stop,<br />

Is this finally goodnight?<br />

Now a feeling so strange, something won't let it die<br />

And can't let them screw up the rest of our lives.<br />

I'm losing all, all track of time<br />

I feel the pain of a real life crime<br />

Boy they roar, let's open up his head<br />

Hey you;see how far you've pushed this<br />

I'm now praying that someone will turn up soon<br />

I'm unaware they're creeping down the backstairs<br />

I shout"Hey, what am I getting this for?,<br />

I weren't even there, I didn't go past the door".<br />

But the baton rains down, the boots pile in<br />

Why don't they leave it, look at the state that I'm in<br />

The choppers chops hard, the blade cuts deep<br />

Flesh hangs off in slices and I start to weep<br />

The baton rains down, the boots pile in<br />

I feel a strange peacefulness building up within<br />

The choppers chops hard, the blood runs red<br />

I feel total release, I think I must be dead<br />

Back alive in the shadow of a dead man<br />

I'm not alone? I'm reaching for the stair rails<br />

Instead I grab the hand of the father<br />

I see a face, it's the face of mother<br />

There's someone else, It's the mother of my mother<br />

Whose strong man is helping me<br />

Climb up the stairs from the misery climb and climb,<br />

The stairs from the misery climbing the stairs<br />

For the unaware?<br />

To see
