Lyrics
======
The window burns to light the way back home,
A light light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day,
Hmm, but what if they should fall by someone's wicked ways?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, do ya feel your names
Can't you hear your babies cryin'?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly, this easy chair
Mmm, but the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid,
But the fist i made for you can't hold off fear
No, I'm not all me
So please excuse me while i tend to how i feel
Bridge
------
But now the dreams and waking dreams
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, can't you hear your names
Can't you hear your babies cryin'?
But now the dreams and waking dreams
They everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try, Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try, Mama they try
