Heliotrope

I was walking down the alleyway that was forcing me to go
Down the path chosen right here for me
Counting steps as wide as oceans in the midst of this great land
While the sun was waging war upon me

So here it goes
Would you want to know?

In my head I feel the whirlwind of tomorrow leaping in
Every choice I made breaking every single bone
In betrayal I shall bath just to learn to give it back
I can only hear the love they should give me

Between these charm offensives, old mens pride and petrified rituals
I will cut deep into these roots
In an endless line of heroes, martyrs, beggars and tyrans
I better make sure this one remembered

Well here it goes
Well you should know

The sun, it is rising
Another day will go by
The sun, it is rising
It's shining for the blind
They built it
With their hands
Brought to life stone by stone
I can see
For centuries
The glory of mankind will
Unfold here
Right before my feet
I watched it
Burn away
My eyes were never clearer

It's forming
And twisting
The gods that
Send me onto
This mission
Might kiss me
Right to my death

Here it goes
The tide it comes

I can't stop
Wish me bad luck
