The deep well the river The forests at night The secret vaults And the caverns That are crying out for light The whispers the rumours The sleepness nights Twists in all reality Because something isn't right From the whole of us all There comes a scream That was born that way Once began as a hope That was born that way The language distortion There are no words Across all the waters And the borders Until the darkness falls Desperate for ignorance Certainty defined The sleight of hand That tricks the mind You're standing on quicksand When you woke today Were you looking forward or back Was something on your mind Means you can't relax In your life The uncertain path Check every motive Of all who keep talking From the whole of us all There comes a scream That was born that way Once began as a hope That was born that way You're buried forever Beneath two miles of sand Once every year A bird flies down To take a grain That's hope A condition for everyone Raise some peace And maybe a thought Has just begun From the whole of us all There comes a scream That was born that way Once began as a hope That was born that way
