Prelude

My fickle heart, it burns like fire For the things that I desire Surely they will be the end of me. And the evil thoughts that I conspire To numb the pain and call you a liar I know, are nothing more than fantasy I rode a wave of faith and fire Then crashed upon a lonely mire If I could only fly again Of loving arms and longing hearts I long to see the day when I am finally found again Unbury me and bear the scars Like the weight of this whole world your heart Has borne unto the end Has borne unto the end They think I'm a better man than I really am But I'm caught between a love that can And I life that we both know can never be And I think about the fall of man And the fools they were to not understand But they now have this old fool's sympathy The weight of all my pain in time Will bury me 'neath dirt and vine And follow all my days Of loving arms and longing hearts I long to see the day when I am finally found again Unbury me and bear the scars Like the weight of this whole world your heart Has borne unto the end Unbury me and bear the scars Like the weight of this whole world your heart Has borne unto the end This soul inside of me Is slowly rupturing Torn apart, you hold my heart Restore me Of loving arms and longing hearts I long to see the day when I am finally found again Unbury me and bear the scars Like the weight of this whole world your heart Has borne unto the end And carry me unto the stars On high, that I may know the dark Is only just a prelude for the day Only just a prelude for the day Surely just a prelude for the day
