The Oncoming Tide

Step with me into a dream
where nightmares are too real
And the moon will send its shadows
on everything you feel The burden of our lives -
dreams and wisdom pay the price
The cost of going on ...
I caught the tears of nevermore
I heard all prayers you never dared to say
I'm pain that will arrive
The dawn of your final day Bridge:
I'm your pride
I'm your rage and war
I'm the reason of your fall
Your end after all
Chorus:
Those who died to find a clue
deep in the ground they're trapped in their silence
as they know that I am you I know you're waiting me
Don't need a prophet to see I'm the only way
No flood or tragedy
I'm your madness and world's my prey
Bridge
Chorus When the skies will be falling
in the cry of last child born
You'll be cloning all gods waiting
they shall quiet the storm
My tide is coming on -
a wicked way of telling you
that man has gone too far Chorus
