Dreams Of Our Fathers

Oh, I’m choking, I’m chokingOn the smoke from this burning houseI claw and I scrapeBut I can’t seem to get outBut who then, who is thisThat’s scratching from the groundOh, it’s my world, tooBut whose gold is this I’m digging out?When we go, where we goWhen we’re deadIs the verdict still out?Do we get into lineTo line up with those long dead now?With the muffled tears of sorrowBones undergroundIs this time our time?Yes, it isWithout or with this shadow of doubtI don’t want to wake upLost in the Dreams of our FathersOh, it’s such a waste childTo live and die for the Dreams of our FathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveMust be the Dreams of our FathersI wanna go, I wanna runWe turn, so sure someone’s looking downIt’s haunting me, haunting meLeaves us here to get outThough I don’t believe, I don’t believeThis flavor in my mouthIs from my tongue aloneSo bitter I wanna spit it outI repeat these wordsThey come outUnder the blue light in the skyMy empty pages are filling upWith these wicked liesBut I hear deep in myselfAn echo, an echoOf empty, empty emptinessComes up and swells insideI don’t want to wake upLost in the Dreams of our FathersOh, it’s such a waste childTo live and die for the Dreams of our FathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveIt must be the Dreams of our FathersRain on my headRain on my headRain on meAnd then give me airRain on my loveAgain and againWhy can’t I dream you away from me?Look here, look hereBloated, floatingGo belly downBelly up in the waterBut who is this here that’s drowned?We followed a drunken manHe got us all spinning roundBut it’s like he swallowed himselfAnd didn’t leave us a way outI don’t want to wake upLost in the Dreams of our FathersOh, it’s such a shame childTo live and die for the Dreams of our FathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveIt must be the Dreams of our FathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the Dreams of our FathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the Dreams of our FathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the love of our fathersThe dreamsThe dreamsThe dreamsThis love I possess love
