Arena - Tantalus lyrics

Standing in water, but dying of thirst

This is my thanks and this is my curse

Try as I might, the fruit on the trees

All remain beyond reach, beyond wishes or pleading for

One last chance

Waiting for time to pass me by

Waiting for freedom, waiting to die

Where can I go, in a world without hope?

There is never a place for a soul that has broken so

Trust in no one - Trust in no one

Linking the chains that weigh down your reason

Nothing to blame, but the actions you choose

Driven insane by the conscience of treason

Running in vein from a life of abuse

The closer I get the further I am

The journey I make is the course of the damned

The distance I go is no distance at all

And I climb to the sky but find myself falling so

Trust in no one - Trust in no one

Quench my thirst - Fill my heart

Feed my mind - Don't leave me starving

Hold my hand - stay close by

Talk to me - Don't leave me crying here

Standing in water, yet dying of thirst

This is my thanks and this is my curse

Empty forgiveness for old indiscretions

And such condemnation for just one transgression

Find me now - set me free

Find me now - set me free

Waiting for time to pass me by

Waiting for freedom, waiting to die

Why do you smile at my timeless ordeal here

And why do you laugh at my hopeless appeal for your mercy?

Tear away the chains - Free me now

No one else to blame – Let me go

Tear away the chains - Free me now

Driving me insane – Let me go

Tear away the chains - Free me now

No one else to blame – Let me go

Tear away the chains - Free me now

Driving me insane – Let me go
