To Wander The Desert Lyrics - Singles - I Kept Silent

Woe to you, blind guides 

I swore by it all! 

The selfish void that filled my heart 

Carried out to questioning: 

I wondered what it could mean 

To break down and what it'd mean to give in 

I wondered what it could mean 

To stand here, lonely 

If I had only one chance to find out 

Would even I care enough? 

Is it worth the world? 

Would it be worth the endless night spent in the cold 

Yearning for a place I've already given up? 

But I'm helpless and searching 

For the way out of this ever-dimming cave 

I've been led to the water poisoned with blood 

I know it too well and I won't be brought to the drought again 

With dried tongues and withered lungs, I gasp for something pure 

But this I've said and let it stand: I won't be led astray 

Bring me closer to the sky 

Bring me closer to the heart you've mined 

Bring me closer to the sky 

Bring me closer so I might not be lost inside 

Bring me closer 

The Earth that buries these lies 

Has already done all it can to sway the monuments 

Towering the tribes that spread the movement 

Of all our callous wants and beliefs 

I've been led to the water poisoned with blood 

But this I've said and let it stand: I won't be led astray
