Running To Persia - Faith lyrics

I read that life's a state of mind

And truth is something hard to find

When quandaries are a mortal kind

We die so far behind

I'm caught up in these mortal things

My thoughts are grounded, stripped of wings

Suspended by these twisted strings

That hang from heaven

Love we're walking a thin line

Between life and death and truth and lies

We still forget to close our eyes

And let faith guide us

In autumn we would steal away

To a live oak in the dying day

Forgetting how time slips away

We ran so proudly

And from the tree we picked the leaves

And fashioned ourselves autumn wreaths

You crowned me the king of thieves

We laughed so loudly

Love we're walking a thin line

In our attempts to outrun time

To twist the motion, break the rhyme

That gives life reason

Now I wonder this my friend

Where we'll fall and where we'll stand

Will we love until the end

Hearts of stone can never bend

I carved a hole into the earth

And filled it with some whispered words

And so I'd not forget their worth

I set a stone there

I buried all the words she'd said

But some still lingered in my head

The words you find are never dead

Because you loved them

Babe we're walking a thin line

Between life and death and truth and lies

We still forget to close our eyes

And let faith guide us

So I wonder this my friends

Where we'll fall and where we'll stand

Will we love until the end

Warmer hearts are prone to bend
