I saw this valley
I saw this rain
You were asleep then
I was insane
You told me stories
About your pain
And how great lovers
They go astray
God only knows how much i tried
To understand what it was yours
And if it still was mine
I stand into this midnight palace
I can feel the same sorrow
And it's got the same sound
You knew the ocean
And slept with the sea
You said we have now
This chance to see
To wipe this dirt off
To stop this mess
To cross this river
To burn this place
God only knows how much i tried
To give a name to this feeling
To give a way to this soul
God knows how much i left behind
To understand what it was
To understand all invane
'cause it's the lie of the world
It's just the lie of the world
You'll call my name out
And i'll kiss your hair
You'll say the first word
And i'll take you away
To save the lovers
To stop this mess
To cross the river
To leave this place
God knows how long it took the fire
To set inside of my feelings
To get outside of my soul
I'll stand into this midnight palace
I'll take your hand on this shore
I'll kiss your lips all invane
'cause it's the lie of the world
It's just the lie of the world
We went through the lie of the world
Yours's just the lie of the world
I walked more than 10 miles today
To get away from this sorrow
To get away from this place
'cause it's the lie of the world
It's just the lie of the world
