Back to a Reason - Savatage

Time, standing all alone

I bled for you, I wanted to

Each drop, my own

Slowly they depart

But fall in vain like desert rain

And still they fall on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason

Got to get back to a reason, I once knew

And this late in the seasons

One by one distractions fade from view

So, drifting through the dark

The sympathy of night’s mercy

Inside my heart

Is your life the same

Do ghosts cry tears, do they feel years?

As time just goes on and on and on

Got to get back to a reason

Got to get back to a reason, I once knew

And this late in the seasons

One by one, distractions fade from view

Years come around, men can be found

Following orders

Years come around, planning is sound

Promises made

Years come around, tears on the ground

Blood stains the borders

Leaders abound, chances are down

No one’s been saved

Give me one reason

For this dark treason

Every chance unsaid

Turn around, all dead

What went wrong?

Give me one reason

For this dark treason

Every chance unsaid

Turn around, all dead

What went wrong?

Drink until you drown

What else can I say?

You’re falling down, you seek the ground

It’s never far away

Can you live your life completely in a fall?

Until you’re found, well underground

Your marker, very small

As my world, it keeps on spinning round

Have to get away

Have to ease the pain

I embrace the morphine child

And pump it in my veins

Burning through my heart

Fills in every hole

Makes my mind so blissful numb

And replaces my soul

Every moment drags me further

Down down, down down, down down, down down

Got to get back to a reason

Got to get back to a reason, I once knew

And this late in the seasons

One by one, distractions fade from view

The only reason I have left is you
