All the years that I stood rooted and strong A monument atop the ridge you put me on But I hear the machines rush in like a tide And I know there's no place that I can hide I should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain airI should have known for so long that this day would come And all that I wanted was a life hand in hand Where we fill in the spaces the best that we can But the pain that I'm feeling, you won't understand And the limbs that you've severed, they will never mend I should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain airI should have known for so long that this day would come I should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain airI should have known for so long that this day would come So I'll forget the things that have filled me with pride I'll wander through dreams that have all but died I'll look to the sky, but it's not enough The sun's buried now under towers of lust They have burned us alive They have burned us alive They have burned us alive They have burned us alive SongtexteI should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain airI should have known for so long that this day would come I should have held my breath and saved a thread of mountain airThey have burned us aliveThey have burned us alive Aus Songtexte Mania
