What If - Blind Ego

As I stand in the moonlight shine

On a slope where the ocean sprays up

Endless waves meet sands ashore,

I see the clouds and the stars all blurred

The wind brings untold tales — Full of suffering and sighs

The souls might have cried in silence — But never heard

The wind brings unseen pictures — With violence and pain

The souls might have cried in silence — But never seen

The dust falls to the ground — Into the earth it fades

And empty are my hands — Now, so is my mind

It’s easier to kill — The creatures in my dreams

Than drag me from myself — And be left on the shelf

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

What if I don’t want to carry my shame?

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

And in the end you’ll take the blame

The cliffs just break the waves — Unmoved by nature’s might

Through days of roaring peace — Before the night must fall

The blood spills on the shore — I know it’s there to stay

I walk towards the flame — Can I avoid the game?

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

What if I don’t want to carry my shame?

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

And in the end you’ll take the blame

Faces fade as the days go by

And the eyes turn to mirrors of blind

Uncried tears vanish in the light

I feel the lust on the edge of the blade

The wind brings haunting memories — Of the house that burned down

The souls might have cried in silence — But never loved

The wind brings accusations — For those that survived

The souls might have cried in silence — But no one cared

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

What if I don’t want to carry my shame?

What if I wasn’t bound to fail

Put myself through all the pain?

And in the end you’ll take the blame
