Steve Vai - Still My Bleeding Heart lyrics

A child to a boy, from a boy to a man

Pride growing stronger, reaching his victories

He speaks no lies, he fights his cause

He judges not the scavengers that persecute humanity

Fate does call and the sickness falls, lights of life dim down

Fear like an alien comes to view, but with words like the mountains

I'll die like a soldier in your arms, my will enduring till the pain is gone

Then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried

Chorus:

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart

For the love of God, still my bleeding heart

His chin he held high, and the courage in his voice

Was like the burning of the sun, but like the breath of an angel

How could this be, I had to scream

Why this innocent young boy, must suffer so helplessly?

But who am I to challenge God

In the ways of the world, remain divine mystery

I crumble down on my hands and knees

While his words fill the air, as he looks into his destiny

I'll die like a soldier in your arms, and I will be brave so you can be strong

And then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried

(chorus)

(Solo)

And he died like a soldier in his lover's arms

Brave as a hero in a blood red war

And his final words as he reached for the stars

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart

Be well my love, still my bleeding heart

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart

For the love of God, still my bleeding heart

(repeats out...)
