paroles de chanson The Fullness of Time: III. Release - Redemption

Lying here surrounded
By the pieces of my life
Would it all be easier
If I lay me down to die

Dreams piled high
On the back of this broken man
Is this all? Born to fall?
Or to rise again?

So much pain and disillusionment
Everything I once felt sure about
We′re all lost if we don't know
It′s a game that we are all playing

The motions of all our counterparts
A piece of sinister scheme

The puppet that's broken has reason to smile
They can no longer force him to dance on their strings
Why shrug off the chains? If you wrap them about
You'll be sunk to the bottom and drowning

The clockwork behind their smiles
Wound by hands that were made to harm

Just release yourself
Cause they can′t rape the willing
Or take what you have if there′s nothing else
Tired of life and filled with despair
And covered with blood from the crosses I bear
But I'm still standing
Should I make myself crawl?

Seems so counter to our nature
Accepting with grace the things we can′t change
But when all's said and done and you′re wronged and decieved
Then it matters the most what you choose to believe
Should I fight against fate
Or should I just lay down and die?

Solos: Bernie, Nick

The puppet that's broken has reason to smile
But the strings can′t contrl you if you walk away
No more tears of disillusionment
I'll be a puppet no longer

The hands that I thought had held me
The clockwork behind their smiles
They'll not have control over me
I′ll stand up and leave them behind

Just release yourself
Cause they can′t rape the willing
Or take what you have if there's nothing else
Tired of life and filled with despair
And covered with blood from the crosses that I bear
But I′m still standing
Should I make myself crawl?

Just release yourself
From the scars you inflict on yourself
When you're wounded by no one else
Rise above pain, move past my despair
And put down the cross that I′ve made myself bear
Now I'm still standing
And I′m not gonna crawl
