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, lonelyIf 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 caveI'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 astrayBring 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 closerThe 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 beliefsI've been led to the water poisoned with blood
But this I've said and let it stand: I won't be led astray
