you'll die young if you live so carefully /
there are risks you must take to pay this world /
I know it would never be that easy /
I have not yet earned the right to die /
I want you to hear me screaming /
I want you to notice what goes on /
temptation and evil demons crawling the earth hiding in every corner

I've seen men crippled in anger /
the sun burns alive in silence /
I've seen men wallow in fear /
inaction acts as a blade across the throat /
I'll learn how to make decisions /
I'll stick by my word - won't let you down /
I swear by the grave that's calling /
nothing will stop me from doing what must be done

something here is still innocent /
It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it /
There are still places where the magic can breathe /
I want to breathe it in /
I want to lay down and never leave

we're stalking the ancient mariner /
through waters he takes his lonely course /
once powerful once beautiful /
extinction lingering these things are no more /
I love you I'll never leave you /
though I may be gone for years on end /
I will never be separate /
lovers through the lives before and after

something here is still innocent / It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it / There are still places where the magic can breathe / I want to breathe it in / I want to lay down and never leave
