lyrics

FAR FROM YOUR EYES

We face some real time hardships
But pray to a fictive god
The void that we are part of
Will dim the light we own

He's steps into the fire and rolls the dice
Lays his own neck on the line with no doubts in mind
Not a knight in shining armor
Just a man against the odds
The man behind the line becomes the only straw that you can draw

He feels the odds are stacking up against him
With every step
He makes an effort to smile
With every break of dawn
Even though the reasons are all gone
What does it take to be a hero
Ability to overcome humanity's inherent flaws
What does it take to be a hero
Ability to overcome inherent flaws
And rise above

When we all come to zero
Silence will remain
Can you see the man or the hero
The martyr that we all betrayed

Wake up, wake up
The time is ticking away

She walks the streets at night aimlessly
Beneath the weight of judgment
Trying to make ends meet
Statistically she's well
Under the margin line
Can't catch a break to cry
Must carry on this battle we call life

She feels like everything is slipping away
Lost in despair
She makes an effort to smile
With every break of dawn
Even though the reasons are all gone

The affliction anchors them to the past
Sea of tears will drown their pain away
Silent portraits with no name
They are fighting for every rising day
every rising day

When we all come to zero
Silence will remain
Can you see the man or the hero
The martyr that we all betrayed

Far from your eyes
They will drown their pain
They will drown their pain away
Far from their eyes
There's a friend who's waiting
Waiting to call out his name
