I Witness lyrics

Across the desert of the burning dark, a

Darkness which illuminates you

There's a place you've always wanted to be

Whose pleasures always did escape you

It's always been so out of reach, nothing, so near

Ever felt so far

And now it's here within your grasp, a never

Ending burning says it all

As you drive into the darkness, in front the future

Behind you history

Caught alone in the dark night, do you think

That's the way it's supposed to be

You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is

Lies, oh yeah

You better run from the holy man, the eyes that

Will are set up on you

Listen not to verse and prayer, songs that thrill

And voices tempt you

The inner flame has fear of death, never, has

Light ever seemed so dark

Pilgrims of sabbocracy, hear the hounds of

Heaven, as they bark

As you drive into the darkness, in front the future

Behind you history

Caught alone in the dark night, do you think

That's the way it's supposed to be

You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is

Lies, oh yeah

I witness a time and a place that never dies, still

Frozen in time

This darkness the only place that I can hide, I

Witness, a dream

As you drive into the darkness, in front the future

Behind you history

Caught alone in the dark night, do you think

That's the way it's supposed to be

You don't believe your eyes, cos all they see is

Lies, oh yeah

I witness a time and a place that never dies, still

Frozen in time

This darkness the only place that I can hide, I

Witness, a dream

Oh, just a dream
