lyrics

When the moon shows signs of danger in your stars
And when your heart is hung out like a skin to dry
And when all that’s left is nothing
In the place once filled with loving
And if I say that’s just life well that’s a lie

Well you know that there’s a demon in my heart
And you’ve seen the way my soul can slowly die
But you’ve seen it all before
Like a blood stain on your floor
But in your heart you can’t say that I didn’t try

From this silent field of battle
From the comfort of alone
Everything makes perfect sense
Though everything has turned to stone

And there’s nothing quite as empty
As the last stop on the line
And when there’s nothing left to say
And all the colours gone away
You walk the only road you know
I waIk the road that’s mine

Well the words you said were clear enough at the time
And I know that you must think that I’m half blind
And when you said it couldn’t be
How was I supposed to see
The words you said were so far from your mind.

There’s a big old moon out on the hills tonight
And it shines into my memory’s darkened door
And the taste that’s left is almost sweet
Now that I’ve got back on my feet
And the images are too strong to ignore

From this silent field of battle
I battle all alone
And in the crazy light of moon
The shadows of my memory roam

And there’s nothing quite as lonely
As the last stop on the line
And when there’s nothing left to say
And the all the hope has gone away
You walk the only road you know
I walk the road that’s mine

And as the darkness turns to danger something dies
The night becomes so long you want to cry
The words turn into muddy tracks
And finally we both turn our backs
When there’s nothing left to say
Say goodbye

There’s a quiet moon on the battlefield tonight
And the time has come to put my heart at ease
And all the words still left to say
That now won’t see the light of day
Are like silent ghosts just drifting through the trees

So when all is said and done where do we stand
When we finally reach the last stop on the line
The road ahead is like a mystery
Like a night that’s black and blustery
And the blood stain on the floor looks just like mine

From this silent field of battle
From the comfort of alone
Nothing more makes any sense
And everything has turned to stone

And there’s nothing quite as empty
As the last stop on the line
And when there’s nothing left to say
And all the colours gone away
You walk the only road you know
I waIk the road that’s mine
