Lyrics by Hebert

Think to yourself if you can about what your world rally looks like

And I'll tell you something that you won't want to see

I know this guy he says he knows all about you

Let me tell you what this man related to me

He said, son you have a dream and it was dreamt in vain

Don't close your eyes you'll never see it again

Your cross to bear and from the weight he fell

You suffer heaven

I'll take you into my...

Hell of an existence

Partial to the ones that control me

Pretty soon kid your gonna see for yourself

I said listen to me man what's this about you don't even know me

That's when he told me that I need this help

He said, son I had a dream and it was dreamt in vain

I closed my eyes and I never saw it again

My cross to bear until I have to tell

I suffered heaven and I fell

Listen – I have learned what I means to be alive

In deepest dreams through one soul sacrifice

A world so paranoid

I listened as he told me a story of a man

Who betrayed his best friend for a bag of gold

I can't help but ask myself

What price was paid when I was betrayed

Kill temptation's fire

And what deception burn

Young thoughts burn

A lesson to be learned

The one before

Place not the fault or blame

Misguided youth

It's all the same

Listen – I have learned what it means to be alive

My deepest dreams through one soul sacrifice

What is this I've destroyed

Father

Immortal lies of persecution will take me far away from pain

To see the past for what it might have meant

Will I ever learn to live again

Will I ever learn to live

So you had a dream and it was dreamt in vain

You should've listened and closed your eyes

You'll never see it again

Your cross to bear and from the weight you fell

Listen – you won't listen closely to the words I have to tell

We can dream the dream they never dreamt in vain

Where I used to live

You'll surely see them again

The weight to bear

My story's sad to tell

Through me you lose yourself
