Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive During weary times
Seemed so pure when wearing white Within such a frail and immaculate mind With those innocent eyes
We were young and full of life You asked me to swear in a mirror - confide Underneath the stars
I should care to let you fly A chance to retrieve what was left behind To experience life
Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you dependent Leaving you an open vein
Can't make you wait no more Can't make you wait nowhere It's hard to breathe Everything's blackening
I am made of flesh and bone Blood, sweat and tears are all you ever will find Underneath the skin
You're affair, that I'm a stone Falling from the depths into the grave Where I'm destined to dwell
And we reach for mystery At the edge of reason Every path we take We're wandering in blindness In the end nothing is Lonelier or so honorable While we drown in doubt We're drifting like strangers
Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Waiting for a wonder Within a forsaken land The sparrow in my hand Now buried in the sand Leaving you dependent Leaving me with open veins
Forty days and forty nights You were the drug that kept me alive With those innocent eyes
