Oh, I’m choking, I’m choking   On the smoke from this burning house   I claw and I scrape   But I can’t seem to get out   But who then, who is this   That’s scratching from the ground   Oh, it’s my world, too   But whose gold is this I’m digging out?      When we go, where we go   When we’re dead   Is the verdict still out?   Do we get into line   To line up with those long dead now?   With the muffled tears of sorrow   Bones underground   Is this time our time?   Yes, it is   Without or with this shadow of doubt      I don’t want to wake up   Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers   Oh, it’s such a waste child   To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers   Though I must confess, yes   My view is a wonder about this   This love I possess, love   Must be the Dreams of our Fathers      I wanna go, I wanna run   We turn, so sure someone’s looking down   It’s haunting me, haunting me   Leaves us here to get out   Though I don’t believe, I don’t believe   This flavor in my mouth   Is from my tongue alone   So bitter I wanna spit it out      I repeat these words   They come out   Under the blue light in the sky   My empty pages are filling up   With these wicked lies   But I hear deep in myself   An echo, an echo   Of empty, empty emptiness   Comes up and swells inside      I don’t want to wake up   Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers   Oh, it’s such a waste child   To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers   Though I must confess, yes   My view is a wonder about this   This love I possess, love   It must be the Dreams of our Fathers      Rain on my head   Rain on my head   Rain on me   And then give me air   Rain on my love   Again and again   Why can’t I dream you away from me?      Look here, look here   Bloated, floating   Go belly down   Belly up in the water   But who is this here that’s drowned?   We followed a drunken man   He got us all spinning round   But it’s like he swallowed himself   And didn’t leave us a way out      I don’t want to wake up   Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers   Oh, it’s such a shame child   To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers   Though I must confess, yes   My view is a wonder about this   This love I possess, love   It must be the Dreams of our Fathers      This love I possess, love   It must be the Dreams of our Fathers   This love I possess, love   It must be the Dreams of our Fathers   This love I possess, love   It must be the love of our fathers      The dreams   The dreams   The dreams   This love I possess love
