Oh, I’m choking, I’m choking

On the smoke from this burning house

I claw and I scrape

But I can’t seem to get out

But who then, who is this

That’s scratching from the ground

Oh, it’s my world, too

But whose gold is this I’m digging out?

When we go, where we go

When we’re dead

Is the verdict still out?

Do we get into line

To line up with those long dead now?

With the muffled tears of sorrow

Bones underground

Is this time our time?

Yes, it is

Without or with this shadow of doubt

I don’t want to wake up

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers

Oh, it’s such a waste child

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers

Though I must confess, yes

My view is a wonder about this

This love I possess, love

Must be the Dreams of our Fathers

I wanna go, I wanna run

We turn, so sure someone’s looking down

It’s haunting me, haunting me

Leaves us here to get out

Though I don’t believe, I don’t believe

This flavor in my mouth

Is from my tongue alone

So bitter I wanna spit it out

I repeat these words

They come out

Under the blue light in the sky

My empty pages are filling up

With these wicked lies

But I hear deep in myself

An echo, an echo

Of empty, empty emptiness

Comes up and swells inside

I don’t want to wake up

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers

Oh, it’s such a waste child

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers

Though I must confess, yes

My view is a wonder about this

This love I possess, love

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

Rain on my head

Rain on my head

Rain on me

And then give me air

Rain on my love

Again and again

Why can’t I dream you away from me?

Look here, look here

Bloated, floating

Go belly down

Belly up in the water

But who is this here that’s drowned?

We followed a drunken man

He got us all spinning round

But it’s like he swallowed himself

And didn’t leave us a way out

I don’t want to wake up

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers

Oh, it’s such a shame child

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers

Though I must confess, yes

My view is a wonder about this

This love I possess, love

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

This love I possess, love

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

This love I possess, love

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

This love I possess, love

It must be the love of our fathers

The dreams

The dreams

The dreams

This love I possess love
