Well I dreamt of a saint who could save you
Make you stronger than I ever could
Let the nightmare I chained to your eyelids
Be mine as it should
There's a sentry who's pacing the hallway
And he hopes that it's all in his head
I am not sure when he first came around here
Not sure, I forget
When ordinary dreams collapsed
And that sadness appeared in your heart
When the fear I've learned to lean upon
Broke the floodgate where no one stood guard
Hen you would not surrender
On those sleepless fields
Where our whispers they blinked in the dark
Gave my youth to the ghost who undressed you
Had to watch as he withered into me
Now wherever I lead my battalion
There is loss and debris
They say
Oh, forget your dreaming
Take us home
Wherever that may be
And though we longed to joined you
Your ideals
Have lost their appeal
May your eyes erase
What the mirror has failed to conceal
When ordinary dreams collapse
And that sadness appears in your heart
When the fear I've learned to lean upon
Breaks the floodgate
Where no one stands guard
When you say you want sinners
That your love can heal
What I thought I could never repair
That my ragged heart
Will be mended
And your cross to bear
