Savatage - Alone You Breathe lyrics

rate me

You were never one for waiting

Still I always thought you'd wait for me

And have you from your dreams awakened

And from where you are what do you see

Which of us is now in exile

Which in need of amnesty

Are you now but an illusion

In my mind alone you breathe

You believed in things that I will never know

You were out there drowning but it never showed

Till inside a rainswept night you just let go

You've thrown it all away

And now we'll never see the ending to the play

The grand design, the final line

And what was meant to be

In the dark a distant runner

Now has disappeared into the night

Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from this end into your life

You believed in things that I will never know

You were out there drowning but it never showed

'Til inside a rainswept night you just let go

You've thrown it all away

And now we'll never see the ending to the play

The grand design, the final line

And what was meant to be

And if this is all illusion

Nothing more than pure delusion

Clinging to a fading fantasy

Like Icarus who heeds the calling

Of a sun but now is falling

As the feathers of his life fall free

Can you see

See

Tomorrow and after

You tell me what am I to do

I stand here believing

That in the dark there is a clue

Perhaps inside this midnight sky

Perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes

Or could it be, we'll never know

And after all this was the show

What am I to do

Gotta get back

Gotta get back

Gotta get back

What am I to do

Gotta get back

Gotta get back

Gotta get back

What am I to do

Standing on a dream isn't what it seems

Could we then reclaim a dream refused

Knowing what we know could we let it go

Realizing that all the years are used

Tomorrow and after

You tell me what am I to do

I stand here believing

That in the dark there is a clue

I am the way, I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams

And in the dark I hear your screams

Tomorrow and after

You tell me what am I to do

I stand here believing

That in the dark there is a clue
