Scars (feat. Geoff Tate)

It's come again, and won't reveal its name

While it paints the world in shadow

You try to run but you can't get away

Your body's aching - you can't move

Eyes, incisive stare

Feel them everywhere

Raining darkness on you

Feel it by your side

Feel it crawl into your mind

You're dancing to the sound of

Heroes and tightropes and fire

Don't count the scars just let them

Light up the night sky

Hero! And no one shall see

How it grows from the scars

Wailing beauty, ecstasizing poetry

From the well of harmony — ripped apart

Broken dreams, false promises we felt were made

As we set out on a journey fated from the start

Or did we just take some wrong bloody turn

On a devious road

Drawn to the song (Of)

Heroes and tightropes and fire

Don't count the scars

Just make them shine in the night sky

Heroes and no one shall see

How it grows from the scars

It's here again but we must not be afraid

Make it shed exhileration

We pray tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

While deep inside we know that something will remain

Eyes incisive stare

Feel them everywhere

Constant dripping wears the stone

Oh

Shadow by your side

Shadows poured into your mind

As you stumble towards the sound

Of heroes and tightropes and fire

Don't count the scars

Just make them shine in the night sky

Heroes and all they will see

How it's grown over scars

Heroes and tightropes and fire

Don't count the scars

Just make them shine in the night sky

Heroes no one shall see

How it grows from the scars
