The Asylum

Crying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds, soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
'Bout losing direction, clutchin a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home
Home, home, home, home
You long to be see-through, so nobody can tell
Whenever they made you bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by one track mind
Initiating you - splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison, the sweeter smells the bloom
Don't you try to stand your ground
'Cause you're only coming home
Through the heart of fire
You're home, found the asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire, ruins and fire, and fire
In world where the broken dance, with shattered dreams
It's burning inside you this emotional hell
And you keep on smiling, upon the icy tides
A stream of fire, to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever, too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness, for wicked harmony
Little angel thrown away, sure'll be back another day
Through the heart of fire
You're home, found the asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire, ruins and fire, and fire
In world where the broken dance, with shattered dreams
Now see the cornered children, I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Concealed humiliation, now let them dance
Libertation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallow's tree
Boogeyman was sought and found
Boogeyman has found a home
In the heart of fire, he's found the asylum
In world where the broken dance, on shards of glass
Fire, ruins and fire, and fire
In world where the broken dance, with shattered dreams
Heart of fire, you're home, found the asylum
In world where the broken dance, on shards of glass
I see fire, ruins and fire, and fire
In world where the broken dance, with shattered dreams
