Lyrics

Cross of Independence

Nail yourself
to a cross of independence
The view is wide
the wind relentless
There's more warmth
in the ground at your feet
Than in your arms
with a heart that cannot bleed
Walk ahead of me.

Go on walk ahead of me.
You're more than ill ever be.
Go on walk ahead of me.
Youre more than ill ever be.

Every silver cloud
has a blackened lining.
I love your smile
but it leaves me sighing.
Its warm to bask
in the light of your eyes.
But I cant take
the agony of those goodbyes.
walk away from me.

(repeat chorus)

The beat goes on
but its the same old story.
I see the prize
but cannot taste the glory.
Theres more warmth
in the ground at your feet.
Than in your arms
with a heart that cannot bleed.
Walk ahead of me.

(chorus)

(heres the "forgotten" verse!)

Though apart
separated by space and time.
I cant seem to get
you off of out of my mind.
I thought itd be better to be
far far away.
But absence makes the pain
grow greater with each day.
Walk ahead of me

(chorus)
