lyrics

STILL I LIVE, STILL I DREAM

I stood alone on an empty street
My days are marked, and carved in stone
So stop the clock now, send me home
The breeze across my face blows warm
I heard no gavel hammer down
I saw no sign of my reprieve
My hands were unbound at the gate
But I only felt a mild relief

But still I live and still I dream
I hurl a bottle into the sea
With very last of my belief
I live, I live, I dream, I dream
We walk the edge of flowered fields
We listen for thunder in the hills
And dance in streets turned deadly still
I live, I live, I live
I dream, I dream, I dream

Turn your head when they walk me up
Do not look from down below
The time was short, we always knew
That coward’s bargain through and through
The promise was weak, it was always cruel
It was a lie, we always knew
There’s no reason now to mark the time
The sun is shining in my eyes

But still we live and still we dream
I hurl a bottle in the sea
With very last of my belief
I live, I live, I dream, I dream
We walk the edge of flowered fields
We listen to the thunder in the hills
And we dance in streets turned deadly still

We live, we live, we live
We dream, we dream, we dream
