Fields Of Yesterday

What a day to ride away

Had to find the reason for my loss of yesterday

But I still don’t know why I sink so low

Giving birth to worries, asking where we’re gonna go

Guess I’ll never know

Feel the skies anesthetize and wash my fears away

I believe that when we leave, we face another day

Losing memories, childhood slips away

Demons here in the dark, and they say,

“Have you ever known the fears of a madman?

Watch us live, watch us die in the same plan?

Did you really think there was another place for your soul?

Have you ever seen the stare of a dead man?

Taste the salt in the tears of a sad man?

Will you have the strength when you go to the show?

Then I saw a sign near the corners of my mind

In the fields of yesterday

Looking back it’s been so long

My burning passion keeps my hunger going strong

But, I still can’t see something’s stopping me

From the lake of knowledge I thirst for desperately

Just to drink of easily

When you sleep your demons come, and scare your dreams away

Bringing thoughts of mortal men in rooms where angels play

Let me taste of secrets unrevealed

Battlefield for a soul they came to steal

Will you ever put an end to the bad man?

Eat him up, spit him out, like I know you can

Let him know I’m never giving in or losing control

Saw you counting every star in the night sky

Came to join you cuzI see with you eye to eye

Gets so lonely when the answers won’t obey when they’re told

I saw the light piercing through my fading sight

In the fields of yesterday

When I close my eyes to sleep, I’m blind

The ghost of all my years appears to be unkind

The poison of my tears

Nothing, something, life creating

Thinking, fearing, dedicating

Worlds colliding, hating, fighting

Sex and pleasure, so inviting

Reproducing, learning, crying

Generations passing by

The blinking of a careless eye

Religious zealots pray to die

With lying, cheating, hurting, killing

Try to keep your life fulfilling

Gasping, save your final breath

A futile try to conquer death

You put your life in order, cry for the truth

And then you die

Feel a certain peace I never knew

Leave them all behind

I’m gone now

Goodbye, cruel world

Let me sleep forever in your bliss

Fading, I remain answerless

Have you ever known the fears of a madman?

Will you ever put an end to the bad man?

Will you have the strength to fight him

When you go to the show?

Then I saw a sign near the corners of mind

In the fields of yesterday
