Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
He accompanies me through wind and rain
When I'm in agony and pain
He warns me for the change, the change of tide
And tells me when and where to hide
When I was born along came he
When I arose he came alive in me
But only I was recognized
Vivid in their dream
No one saw him gleam
How selective they wish to perceive
In the lie, they want to believe
The trees blossom acknowledged
The roots denied
Because if he'd be noticed
They'd tremble, terrified
Why not speak of him freely?
Of the one hushed so ruthlessly?
He who offers the ultimate escape
Out of this treacherous world full rape
To me, a friend
Guardian of my final breath
To them, their greatest fear
They call him DEATH
He accompanies me through wind and rain   When I'm in agony and pain   He warns me for the change, the change of tide   And tells me when and where to hide   When I was born along came he   When I arose he came alive in me   But only I was recognized   Vivid in their dream   No one saw him gleam   How selective they wish to perceive   In the lie, they want to believe   The trees blossom acknowledged   The roots denied   Because if he'd be noticed   They'd tremble, terrified   Why not speak of him freely?   Of the one hushed so ruthlessly?   He who offers the ultimate escape   Out of this treacherous world full rape   To me, a friend   Guardian of my final breath   To them, their greatest fear   They call him DEATH
