Brother, you are my guiding star Forever, you roam, I won't be far I have so many things to learn from you I was so lost until you came through And led me through the dark Brother, come close don't stray away You'll turn and run from us some day Like you

Only through struggle have I found rest With a piece of me taken away I begin to understand Hollow out this machine like chest With its gears that turn to make me feel And assembled thoughts that fade away Remove from me This deception that I call love

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact You gotta make it alright And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man I don't know where to begin,

Oden! Guide our ships Our axes, spears and swords Guide us through storms that whip And in brutal war The warming sun returns again And melts away the snow The sea is freed from icy chains Winter is letting go Standing on the ocean side

I'm standing in the shadow of the hill Feel the fear everywhere Hope it don't get me killed I'm standing in the shadow walking blind I've been unfair & unkind Turned away from your suffering far too many times Now I'm standing in the shadow walking blind

Fly away, skyline pigeon fly Towards the dreams You've left so very far behind For just a Skyline Pigeon Dreaming of the open Waiting for the day That he can spread his wings And fly away again Turn me loose from your hands

Please help me, I'm falling In love with you Close the door to temptation don't let me walk through Turn away from me, darling I'm begging you to I belong to another Whose arms have grown cold But i promised forever To have and to hold

We circle over and over Desperate I return to you Broken I return to you But still I return to you What will it take to escape you What will it take Once more alone As the memories weave and fade away

On the wings of the night No more turning away On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand "Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in

And the sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh The sun will set for you I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
