Fire And Forgiveness

(album: Under The Sign Of Cain - 1994)

As I fall awake and darkness calls
TV flickers dance on the walls
I can hear, I can hear the whole world cry
From this empty room I walk the water's edge
Hearing all those crazy things I said
I can feel, I can feel a cold man's tears

In a river of darkness
Cold guilty rain
Drowning my senses
I can see, I can see you fade away

Far away from here
Through the taste in light
I feel where they warm through the night
I can see, I can see you turn away
Sweet horizons
Spring out of reach
I swear to believe in
I believe, I believe you're there for me

If I could reach out
If I could make it right
I would calm this storm and hold back the night
In fire and forgiveness
I stand in the light of your innocence
And if I close my eyes I see you standing there

Strong out of weakness
Wrapped up in blue
And gold are the secrets
I can dream, I can dream they all come true
As a man becomes what a child believes
Lovers are born on stormier seas
I can feel, I can feel you standing there

If I could reach out
If I could make it right
I would calm this storm and hold back the night
In fire and forgiveness
I stand in the light of your innocence
And if I close my eyes I see you standing there
In fire and forgiveness
I stand in the light of your innocence
And if I close my eyes I see you standing there...
