Wijlen Wij - Bridges lyrics

<b>Bridges</b> by <i>Wijlen Wij</i><br />

I've died and they build

Bridges all over my dead corpse

They don't seem to have much respect

For the remains of a dead warrior

Why can't they see that my wounds are still bleeding?

Why can't they see that my limbs are still aching?

Their soldiers build bridges on my dead body

With mortar and clay

I felt betrayed that my corpse was not honoured

For years and years I stood like a mountain

Sheltering them from the winds

Fighting against their many enemies

Wounded on the cold ground I laid

Wreckage, abandoned by everyone

Wasted by centuries of solitude

Eternally damned...

But down on my knees I prayed

And on the seventh day she came

Angel heaven sent... cold water for my dried lips

Hear my call, I speak with Ancient Tongue

Take my suffering; erase me from the face of this earth

A new era has begun; the King has arisen from his slumber!

Like a bird freed from it's cage

Like the prayer of a wounded soul

My spirit flies towards the sun...
