The Archway of Tears - Magnum

They laughed loudly

Had no cares

Their hands dirty

Said no prayers

Dark streets hide the sunrise

All things come to pass and

No smile from her blue eyes

Her soul comes unfastened

Oh don’t be afraid of the truth

Oh don’t be afraid

There’s no excuse

Long time in coming

Long time gone

They say keep running

But what from?

She’s seen all the good intentions

Like the archway of tears

Long time in coming

Run through the years

Stained glass broken

Ruby and blue

The shrine’s empty

No taboo

She’s not seen the ocean

Night time, fiery stacks burn

No nails on her fingers

She vows not to return

Yeah she finds it hard to believe

She’s so afraid

We all get deceived

Long time in coming

Long time gone

They say keep running

But what from?

She’s seen all the good intentions

Like the archway of tears

Long time in coming

Run through the years

Work a lifetime maybe

Get nowhere

It’s a fine line maybe

To get there

Long time in coming

Long time gone

They say keep running

But what from?

She’s seen all the good intentions

Like the archway of tears

Long time in coming

Run through the years

Long time in coming

Long time gone

They say keep running

But what from?

She’s seen all the good intentions

Like the archway of tears

Long time in coming

Run through the years
