What a day to ride away Had to find the reason for my loss of yesterday But I still don't know why I sink so low Giving birth to worries asking where we're gonna go Guess I'll never know Feel the skies anesthetize and wash my fears away I believe that when we leave, we face another day Losing memories, childhood slips away Demons here in the dark and they say yeah Have you ever known the fears of a madman? Watch us live, watch us die in the same plan? Did you really think there was another place for your soul? Have you ever seen the stare of a dead man? Tasted salt in the tears of a sad man? Will you have the strength when you go to the show? Then I saw a sign near the corners of my mind In the fields of yesterday Looking back it's been so long My burning passion keeps my hunger going strong But I still can't see something's stopping me From the lake of knowledge I thirst for desperately Just to drink of easily When you sleep your demons come and scare your dreams away Bringing thoughts of mortal men in rooms where angels play Let me taste of secrets unrevealed Battlefield for a soul they came to steal, yeah Will you ever put an end to the bad man? Eat him up, spit him out like I know you can Let him know I'm never giving in or losing control Saw you counting every star in the night sky Came to join you 'cuz I see with you eye to eye Gets so lonely when the answers won't obey when they're told I saw the light piercing through my fading sight In the fields of yesterday When I close my eyes to sleep, I'm blind The ghost of all my years appears to be unkind The poison of my tears, nothing, something, life creating Thinking, fearing, dedicating, worlds colliding, hating, fighting Sex and pleasure, so inviting Reproducing, learning, crying generations passing by The blinking of a careless eye religious zealots pray to die With lying, cheating, hurting, killing try to keep your life fulfilling Gasping, save your final breath, a futile try to conquer death You put your life in order, cry for the truth and then you die Feel a certain peace I never knew, leave them all behind I'm gone now, goodbye, cruel world Let me sleep forever in your bliss Fading, I remain answerless Have you ever known the fears of a madman? Will you ever put an end to the bad man? Will you have the strength to fight him when you go to the show? Then I saw a sign near the corners of mind In the fields of yesterday
