See it anyone got my eyes got my face Sing it everyone got my nose got my blood Conscience plays upon me now Safe until my luck runs out Cukoos call, pendulum swings I thought you knew everything Lift my hands make the cross Sinner I have never learned Beginner I cannot return Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier Those things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled Under moonlight I stood wild and naked Felt no shame just my spirit awakened Sinner got my eyes got my face Fireball drop from the sky All my dreams have come to pass Where's my faith is it lost Can't see it 'til you cast it off Sinner there is no such thing Beginner I have learned to sing Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier Today I am still disconnected To the face that I saw in the clouds And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down
