One Child Lyrics - Savatage

One child stood before the altar 

One child stood out in the rain 

One child spent his time imagining 

And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a... 

Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line 

I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find 

A tunnel out so we all can be saved 

If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave 

One child hid inside the darkness 

One child never said a thing 

One child closed his eyes and disappeared 

But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper... 

Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line 

I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find 

A tunnel out so we all can be saved 

If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave

I will believe in you 

If you still want me to 

Or tell me I'm on my own 

There on the other side 

Tell me the Pilate's died 

And we're no longer alone 

Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care 

I have held on to your words until I found them only air 

What good are your promises if you can always take them back? 

Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding 

I will believe in you 

If you still want me to 

Or tell me I'm on my own 

There on the other side 

Tell me the Pilate's died 

And we're no longer alone

I will believe in you (We had no choice but to stay and follow) 

If you still want me to (We have nothing left except tomorrow) 

Or tell me I'm on my own (We have nothing left except what will be) 

There on the other side (What we need here are some real decisions) 

Tell me the Pilate's died (While you only offer mindless visions) 

And we're no longer alone (Visions that nobody else here can see)
