Lyrics

Homage

This smile the unborn child reaction's taken, forsaken

These scenes pervaded me in a way that

People seldom see

This is the only time that I thought I had

Seen the signs and I wait, I'll never know

In this room

The blind pass through

In this room

I think of you

In this room

In this room

Darkness will vanish soon

I awake, always in this room

All days will fall and rise

Helplessly, I watch these figures cry

This sense of needless rejection

Always the sense of reason

Carelessly lead me astray

In this room

The blind pass through

In this room

I think of you

In this room

Father, please don't forsake me now

In this room

Father, please don't forsake me now

In this room

People always ask for dreams

Revelation in a dream

A life that is so scared

This is the only time that I

Thought I had seen the signs

Well, I did... I'll never know

In this room

I think of you

In this room

I think of you

In this room

Father, please don't forsake me now

In this room

Father, please don't forsake me now

In this room

Father, please don't forsake me now
