A lifetime of sorrow
in a blink of an eye
Echoes through the valley of pain
It screams and it runs
As it claims countless lives
It crawls through your heart and in your veins
And again
I hear you scream tonight
But my friend
You can turn off the lights
We run and we hide
In a world that needs some light
We burn and we kill all through the night
There's only one way
That is set within your mind
Yet you need to prove yourself right
And again
I hear you scream tonight
But my friend
You can turn off the lights
And in your sleep
You'll die

Again, this is the kind of song nobody really gets, until you explain it to them. But sometimes you need to make up your own meaning for a song. Sometimes you need to relate in your own way. So, I'm gonna leave it up to you to decide what this song is all about. By the way, if you haven't picked up that the name is only a metaphor, please go tell yourself that you don't know anything and that you've wasted a whole lot of money and time trying to educate yourself!! ;)
