Pain of Salvation - Fandango lyrics

Watch them dance

She is intimacy - a wonder of closeness
Fighting hypocrisy - a lonely child that
Never could believe, yet never give up
On life's insanity
Understanding is all, she fails to find it
She can never fall

All her life she's longed to be weak
All this time on roads turning bleak
(Roads turning bleak) watch her dance

He is sharpness of mind - a lonely Peter Pan
Always standing behind and from a distance
Looking at a world of love and deceit
This child of air defies
Every rooftop and tree
Instead of what he's craving for the most
Getting close

Live that you might find the answers
You can't know before you live
Love and life will give you chances
From your flaws learn to forgive

All his life he's sought to be brave
All this time sought someone to save
(Someone to save)

Watch him dance

They are two of a kind -
Two children warm and wild
In a world going blind
They raise their voices
Speaking for the mute
Building dreams of love finding
Their way through it
They are turned into myths - a beacon of hope
Live that you might find the answers
You can't know before you live
Love and life will give you chances
From your flaws learn to forgive

All his
(life) he was (just) wishing (to) be touched
(but) too scared (of) what
He (de) sired (while) all her
(life) she was (an) object (of)
Grown men's (de) sire
(and) wished to (be) untouched (now) they
Must (try) to work (their)
Unforgotten sexuality out

Watch them dance

Always being much more human than
They wished to be

They built up a world so wonderful
So pure and tense
Stained only now and then by the blood
Of their young innocence

All their life (All their life)
On Tolkien's grounds (Of forests and dreams)
All their time (All their time)
On islands unfound (Islands unfound)
Trapped in a fandango watch them dance
Watch them dance fandango

Live that you might find the answers
You can't wait before you live
Love and life will give you chances
From your flaws learn to forgive
