Diary of Dreams - Deviation lyrics

And the place was burning
Where once my cradle stood
Memories still yearning
For what my childhood took

In peaceful shelter I may rest
Just instincts of salvation
O'deviate from the within
But hate I may not feel

A nations decay within my eyes
Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

What's my flesh? And what my skin?
What my privilege? And what a sin?

Have I come to stay what I can never be?
Have I come to beg for a new identity?
To blame



O' I have tried to fly
But I did not have wings
I have tried to speak but I did not know how

Like a new-born child i have tried to trust
Reaching out but my cradle burning

A nations decay within my eyes
Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

Just memories today
Yes, I exist, but do I also live?
I must deviate from the within
But hate I may not feel
