The world was once seen burning in my eyesJust as it is in yours nowA hurricane of memories put out the embers that remainedAnd now I’m goneThough I’m obsolete, ill scold you even in your dreamsRise from your sleep, boyA myriade of maladiesIncomplete identityHunger for the love I never gaveDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, boyDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, last nightI am an absent fatherGlassy eyed, dormant and veiledFather, can you hear meMy head is pounding like the wagons on a freight trainThe wheels are poorly fastened and they threaten to drive of the tracksLead by your ever present voiceIm gonna take this fall for usA myriade of maladiesIncomplete identityHunger for the love you never gaveDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, boyDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, last nightI am an absent fatherGlassy eyed, dormant and veiledI’ve got nations blaming me for the passings of their childrenSongtexteI’ve been dragging ships across dry landTo fill the hole you emptiedSomewhere in you there is something belonging to meAnd i don’t know how to retrieveDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, boyDon’t think I did not hear you coming home, last nightI am an absent fatherGlassy eyed, dormant and veiled Aus Songtexte Mania
