The Cradle Lyrics & Chords By Aragon

Lost again beyond the boundaries of my fears
Solitude my only friend
Shadows run and hide
There is no room for strangers here
I feel the stormclouds gather round
Oh, don't bring the rain
Ghosts within the heart
Remain when time turns over
From inside lies reprieve the cage
Chameleons turn in me to hide these bitter photographs
Celluloid has such an empty face
Oh, just for a touch
The thorn cuts deep and so I cry
The pain inside
Bites hard beneath my inner walls
And so one question: why do others cry?
Is it so hard to even try?
Well can't you hear us call?
The drumsticks fall
On distance sounds the early warning
And there's no room at all
Against the wall
We stand alone within the crowd
Voices here are dying in the wind
Cold the tears still fall
Beyond the reach of many
Angry moments fire the soul
Where are you mother Earth?
Please gently rock the cradle
Warm beneath a soft and soothing hand
Oh, why do I cry
Empty words surround decisions of a nation
Silence hears the piper's tune
So here I am again a prisoner of my memories
Changes in the story make no change
Oh, leave me alone
The thorn cuts deep and so I cry
The pain inside
Bites hard beneath my inner walls
And so one question : why do others cry?
Is it so hard to even try?
Well can't you hear us call?
The drumsticks fall
On distance sounds the early warning
And there's no room at all
Against the wall
We stand alone within the crowd
Voices here are dying in the wind
