Sweet Release

Destiny's a road we ride Sight unseen--our thoughts untried Through the years--a million miles A trial of errors--a life of trials There's a sign along the highway There's a candle by my bed There's a face in the doorway There's a price on my head Sweet release...won't you carry me on Sweet release...my falls increase Sweet release...I'm not that strong Sex machine will break you down Strip you clean and take your crown Wasted nights--rise and fall One-way lights--they hide it all Now I stand before the mirror Hold the candle to my face I can feel the scars burnin' But they don't leave a trace Sweet release...rest in peace Sweet release...I toss and turn Sweet release...we never learn Black and white is black and red None are right--but some are dead Through every life the war drags on Our hopes and dreams lie ripped and torn Sweet release...give us peace Sweet release...won't you carry me on Sweet release...will it never cease Sweet release...can't you see I'm not that strong
