Dead for a Day Lyrics

Dark is the day,
Where his thoughts betray,
Weighing on his mind,
And it steals his soul

To place his trust,
With memory's love,
Waiting to align,
Who will heal his soul?

Wait and see,
For a grand return,
He remains alone

Drifting away in the twilight sky,
The novelty will fade away

[Erik:]
[2x]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

He can't feel for his heart is yearning.
All is lost today
You can hear him cry
Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness,
Waiting for the time,
To believe in her

Dreamer's day, when he longs to say,
And take it all in stride,
Sitting alone in his prisoned mind,
The jaded takes its toll again

[Erik:]
[2x]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

Blood on the lips of his mother
Dead for a day
She warned him that this day would come
Dead for a day
Feeling he doesn't know who to trust
Dead for a day
Sin for his heart is the color red
Dead for a day

Time for the fainter,
Just to hear pathetic cadence of cries
Pray to your savior,
And you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies

[Erik:]
[2x]
Why can't you save me,
Can you feel it in my soul?

[Erik:]
[2x]
I wish I could be dead for a day
Just to hear what all the people would say
To find out in the end, who was really my friend
And what the meaning of life's all about

To be dead just for a day,
To be dead, dead for a day!
To be dead just for a day,
He wished he could be dead!

To be dead just for one day,
Dead for a day!
To be dead just for one day,
To be dead for a day
Dead for a day
