One Life Leads To Another

(Album: Scene Beyond Dreams - 1984)

We see with the same blinded eyes
I'm a man just like you
Straining for visions
To conquer the images of youth
We're built by design
To endure the knowledge of shame
Transforming loss into life
While the memory remains

Could it be one life leads to another?
Can one life lead to the rest?
One life leads to another
One life leads to the next

Here lie the victims
Unwise in the ways of the world
Are they claimed by the future
Denied the present reward
There stands the savage
Entranced by the blood on his hands
Instincts dissolve
Reason declares its demands

Can it be one life leads to another?
Can one life lead to the rest?
One life leads to another
One life leads to the next

We see with the same blinded eyes
I'm a man just like you
Straining for visions
To conquer the images of youth
We're built by design
To endure the knowledge of shame
Transforming loss into life
While the memory remains

Could it be one life leads to another?
Can one life lead to the rest?
One life leads to another
One life leads to the next
