Lyrics for Dropping The Torch by Hammill Peter:
| | | Artist: | Hammill Peter |
| | Album: | Chameleon In The Shadow Of The Night | | Track: | Dropping The Torch | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 180 | | | | Lyrics: | We play games and every move
is noted down as a subsequent cause
and effectively chains
our freedom and will to live:
we settle in to simple survival,
hanging on our pleasures
grimly...
we must never let them go...
Our prison walls are slowly built,
stone
by stone and day by day
no provision for escape,
entombed alive in safety
and
decay.
Time sets around us in killing frames,
black border round our names.
Our
fingers lose their grip
and the torch slips.
The enemy for
everyone
is everyone, inside -
I feel the hand of security
creep on me with ice-cold
fingers
and crush my flower of freedom;
I've lost the course of my adventure,
all
things I'm meant to do are lost.
There is only one flame each
to keep alive in the
wind.
but finally we snuff them out
all by ourselves.
We set traps and, in the
end,
fall into our own snares
and have nowhere to go.
Time ever moves more
slowly:
life gets more lonely
and less real | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
