Oblivion Ocean T5 Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

[Music & lyrics by D.Gildenlow] 

Sleep is too quiet, dreams are too painful 

truth is the bed of this ocean of lies 

Sinking through layers of untouched oblivion 

soaking from spirits but still far too dry 

Losing all barbed fences Lucid - no defences 

"Where is my mother?" the child asked the soldier. 

The soldier was watching them both fade away. 

Nine words create an oblivion ocean: 

"Dad tell me, will I be dead very long?" 

Losing all I lived for. Losing all I fought for. 

Oh god if you save them 

I swear I'll always hold them in my hand! 

Oh god if you save them I'd take them west 

We'd start again in the promised land. 

When life is wearing thin we pray: 

The gods are close at hand when man is astray. 

But when it all is said and done - is he to thank the gods 

For just taking his son? 

Sleep... is too quiet, dreams are too painful 

truth is the bed of this ocean of lies. 

Words can create an oblivion ocean: 

"dad tell me, will I be dead very long?" 

Losing all I lived for. Losing all I fought for. 

Oh god if you save them 

I swear I'll always hold them in my hand 

Oh god if you save them I'd take them west 

we'd start again then 

Oh god if you save them I swear: 

I'll always hold them in my hand 

Oh god if you save them I'd take them west 

we'd start again in... 

...the promised land.
