^{E5 G5 D5 A5}
Destruction of the empty space is my one and only

crime.
^{C5 B5 G5 A5}
I've lived a thousand times, I found out what it means to be be-

lieved.
^{C5 B5 G5 A5}
The thoughts and images, the unborn child that never was con-

^{E5 G5 D5 A5}
When leathal worlds collide I'm trapped insid my embroyonic

cell.
^{E5 G5 D5 A5}
I'm tracking memories all cast into the never ending

well.
^{C5 B5 G5 A5}
I've lived a thousand times, I found out what it means to be be-

lieved.
^{C5 B5 G5 A5}
The name that scares the face, the child that never sees the course of

ran. Ya gotta believe, yeah!
^{Gm7 Gm7}
I'm talkin' to you.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Well, I know it's hard for you to know the reason why
^{Gm7 Gm7}
And I'll know you'll understand more when it's time to die.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Don't believe that the life you have will be the only one.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
You have to let your body sleep, to let your soul unwind.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
I want ya to listen!
^{Gm7 Gm7}
I'm tryin' to get through!
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Love has given life to you and now it's your concern
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Unseen eyes of inner life will make your soul return
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Still I look, but not to touch. The seeds of life are sown.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
The curtian of the future falls, the secret stays unknown.

Just remember love is blind and hate is living death.
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Treat your life for what it's worth and live for every breath
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Looking back, I've lived and learned but now I'm wondering
^{Gm7 Gm7}
Here I wait, and only guess what this next life will bring. Ha! Ha!
