My resolve fails I wonder why I try at all Just let this rock roll over my bones In the space of an hour my life devolves to something like A moss that grows between the stones And I confine my racing mind To replacing what I cannot find A path leads to the river my footprints know their own way there With echoes bouncing in my head Feel my body shiver growing despair Give in to the will that must be fed I can feel you out there wandering alone Watch the water rise Bound overflow as rain melts the snow With tears from painted eyes Like a flower on a weed I'm fuelling everybody's need to Bring me down, green turns to brown all I was to dry my tears in sunlight I survive when world collide despite the lies they all go to seed Cut the flower from the weed watch as all the rest go to seed Cut the flower from the weed Watch the rest all turn into the seed of your demise Now I can feel the universal will to live goes on A fatal compromise The sacred blood will flow Like tears from painted eyes I must know
