Fight the fight alone When the world is full of victims Dims a fading light In our souls Leave the peace alone Now we all are slowly changing Dims a fading light In our souls In my opinion seeing is to know The things we hold Are always first to go And who's to say We won't end up alone On broken wings I'm falling And it won't be long The skin on me is burning By the fires of the sun On skinned knees I'm bleeding And it won't be long I've got to find that meaning I'll search for so long Cry ourselves to sleep We will sleep alone forever Will you lay me down In the same place with all I love Mend the broken homes Care for them they are our brothers Save the fading light in our souls In my opinion seeing is to know What you give Will always carry you And who's to say We won't survive it too On broken wings I'm falling And it won't be long The skin on me is burning By the fires of the sun On skinned knees I'm bleeding And it won't be long I've got to find that meaning I'll search for so long Set a-free all Relying on their will To make me all that I am And all that I'll be Set a-free all Will fall between the cracks With memories of all that I am And I'll that I'll be On broken wings I'm falling And it won't be long The skin on me is burning By the fires of the sun On skinned knees I'm bleeding And it won't be long I've got to find that meaning I'll search for so long
