The Broken Ones

He opens his eyes in a Stranger land
Where the songs he used to sing
Fade like ghosts of yesterday
Finding himself in a town where no one lives
But the doctors and the devils
The bastards and the rebels
Where sinner's hearts and simple minds
Cast their judgement with empty eyes
While the innocent are eaten
And their dreams are washed away
Freedom lies here bleeding
His screams have come alive
So let's lock this child inside of us
And let the Broken Ones survive!

Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give it all away
Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give it all away

Searching for light in this land of dark belief
The desperate and the faithful offer no relief
Sing a funeral dirge for the joy you used to bring
In the church of broken promises
To a god of broken dreams
The altars you've been laid upon
And the curses you've been sold
All the echoes of these madmen
Have become your prison hold
"Oh Freedom, you're a wicked child!
Let us pray to save your soul!"
So lock the doors and hide him well
And give the Broken Ones control!

Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give it all away
Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give it all away

Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give yourself away
Give your mind to wander
Give your mind to wander
But don't give yourself away

Go back to sleep for us
We'll be the Broken Ones
Just find a new place to hide

Go back to sleep for us
We'll be the Broken Ones
Just find a new place to hide

Go back to sleep for us
We'll be the Broken Ones
Just find a new place to hide

I will always be here
I will always be here
I will always be here
Just find a new place to hide

Always...

Go back to sleep for us

I will be here when the danger rises
And the fear has left you paralyzed
Pain is nothing but a brief illusion
And it disappears when you close your eyes

I will be here when the devils gather
With their evil hands and their hungry eyes
Innocence is highly overrated
I will build my kingdom on their wicked lies

I will be here when the night is over
And the secrets die in the morning light
Shame is everything you thought it would be
But the raging fire keeps your heart alive

I will be here when the shadows whisper
From the corners of your broken mind
Darkness beckons and I am the answer
As the madness fills you and the laughter dies

We will be here when the night is falling
(We will be here for you)
and you only need to find a new place to hide
(hide yourself away tonight)

We will take the pain until it's over
(We will take your pain)
and there's nothing left of all the tears you've cried
(we will guide you to the light)

We will curse the altars of this temple
(We will curse these altars)
where they sold your soul to a lying god
(you have bled and died upon)

We will be here and we'll never leave you
(We will be here for you on and on)
on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
(and on and on and on and on and on and on...)
