So where to begin

Let's start with a child

And where will it end

Where the perfect guest meets his fate

In a scene beyond dreams



I stand where I stand

Convinced by the sight

We hold in our hands

Darkness and light where they meet

In a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries



And she cries

So we watch, and we wait

And we watch, and the hero dies



So where do we fit

Earthbound and chained

Can this be it

Visions of prophets and kings

From a scene beyond dreams



Scattered and armed

Fuel to the fire

Compassion, alarm

Images fade into scenes

Beyond dreams



The awaited appears

Branded with lies

He calls to his own

Loved and despised

From a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries



And she cries

And we watch, and we wait

And we watch, and the hero dies
