Pain Of Salvation - New Year's Eve lyrics

[Music: D.Gildenlow]

'Only the tame birds have a longing. The wild ones fly.'

So once again

Another New Year's Eve will ease our pain

Faith for the few

And rites that will make us so brave

So new

We laugh and we cheer for a Happy New Year

Happy?

Candles burn down

And in the darkness future comes around

We smile - all aware

But never speaking of the masks we wear

Blind!

Turning mirrors upside down

Won't make dust fall off the ground

Hiding wounds won't ease the pain

Sleep won't make you whole again

Change the inside!

...drink the rain...

Dressing our words

Seeing the dirt and flaws inside us hurts

One final glass

A sour taste from our promises

I bid farewell and crawl out of my shell

I'm awake!

I see the mistakes I make

Hiding wounds won't ease the pain

Sleep won't make you whole again

Change the inside...

Today I found a seed of sorrow

The harvest leaves a soil of shame

Now I undress and face tomorrow

And brave I walk to meet the blame

I'll search my home outside these borders

I'll run to meet up with the past

A Resolution for the New Life

This time I know it's gonna last

And I will...

Change the inside

Drink the rain

Open my wounds to heal the pain

Learn the work of The Machine...

[II: Spirit of Man]
