[bodytext] => Sometimes the pain seems far away And then you face the dying day Now everything has gone astray Beneath the moon, your sorrow calls You've lived through half a hundred falls But nothing's like this song at all And he who has two hearts is twice as strong He who knows the tune can play along He who has the dreams can tell, but often it's too soon Sometimes the greatest danger lurks beneath a traitor's moon The weight of glass is in your hands It shatters under false demands From anger at your native lands These screaming, fighting worlds are weak While others waste their years in speak It's hard to see a future bleak He who hears the whispers makes the call He who learns to love must learn to fall He who has the dreams can tell, but what if it's too soon? Sometimes the greatest danger lurks beneath a traitor's moon The arrow shaft must fly so true To see our faith restored anew Can no one see the change of hue? The tears must fall, the tears must fall If ever you will love at all But first, you have to learn to crawl He who prays to Aura, 'bring me light' Is he that finds a candle in the night He who has the dreams ignores the coming of his doom Sometimes the greatest danger lurks beneath a traitor's moon The puzzle begs you to forgive But nothing seems to want to give Sometimes you have to die to live And suddenly, you realize That after half a thousand lies You finally want to be alive And he who has two hearts is twice as strong He who knows the song can sing along He who has the dreams wakes up, and finally he can see Sometimes a traitor's moon can grant the longing to be free.
