The Voice Lyrics


I knew this would happen
And I don't wanna be around
When it gets out
I've closed the last picture
And painted the windows
Inside and out
Give me your dreams
And I'll give you my time
Together we'll cross the borderline
Voices
Crackin' the night
Voices
That cut like a knife
Voices
Hear them singin'
From sparks to the fire
From here to obsession
They cover the end

Twistin' a match
And see the reflections
Of hunters, of men
Give me your dreams
And I'll give you my time
Until we make it to the borderline
Voices
Crackin' the night
Voices
That cut like a knife
Voices
Hear them singin'
Give me your dreams
And I'll give you my time
(Give you my time)
Together we'll cross the borderline
Hear them singin'
Voices
Crackin' the night
Voices
That cut like a knife
Voices
Hear them singin'
Hear them singin'
See and hear them singin'
Hear them singin'
Hear them singin'
Hear them
Hear them singin'
Hear them
