Steve Vai, Devin Townsend - Still My Bleeding Heart lyrics

A child to a boy, from a boy to a man
Pride growing stronger
Reaching his victories
He speaks no lies, he fights his cause
He judges not the scavengers
That persecute humanity

Fate does call and the sickness falls
Lights of life dim down
Fear like an alien comes to view
But with words like the mountains

I'll die like a soldier in your arms
My will enduring till the pain is gone
Then he looked into his lover's
Eyes and he cried

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart

His chin he held high


And the courage in his voice
Was like the burning of the sun
But like the breath of an angel
How could this be, I had to scream
Why this innocent young boy
Must suffer so helplessly?

But who am I to challenge god
In the ways of the world
Remain divine mystery
I crumble down on my hands and knees
While his words fill the air
As he looks into his destiny

I'll die like a soldier in your arms
And I will be brave so you can be strong
And then he looked into his
Lover's eyes and he cried

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart

And he died like a soldier
In his lover's arms
Brave as a hero in a blood red war
And his final words as he
Reached for the stars

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
Be well my love, still my bleeding heart
In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart
In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart
In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart
