lyrics

The Unravelling of the Cord
We Wander through this world
Like lost inside a dream
All we love, we lose
Our memories wiped clean
All our lives we strive
We fight for loss and gain
An insatiable appetite, and all of it in vain
I dont wanna die, we scream into the void
We clasp our hands so tight, as if we could hold on
With the unravelling of the cord, were dropped into this sea
We fight amongst the waves, we live our destiny
With the unravelling of the cord, in delusion live our lives
We watch our children age, we watch our families die
I held my young boys hand...I watched his shining eyes
I pulled him close to me...and we stared into the night
I dont wanna die, I screamed into the void
I clasped his hand so tight, as if I could hold on
With the unravelling of the cord, were dropped into this sea
We fight amongst the waves, we live our destiny
With the unravelling of the cord, in delusion live our lives
We watch our children age, we watch our families die
