lyrics

6. To Raskolnikov

Only one thing you are certain of:
you close your eyes and the darkness comes
Shut out the light from your dulled senses

You pine away for some salvation
outside this prison you've declared
but when you try to pull back the curtain
you turn around and the fear is there

You've lived too long in these guilty cages
blaming their existence on some hidden pain
don't let this building dust define you
open these windows, learn to breathe again

You pine away for some salvation
outside this prison you've declared
but when you try to pull back the curtain
you turn around and the fear is there
You turn around and the fear is there
Oh...

Recluse in suffering, seeming never ending
Take up that lantern, let it light your way
let it warm the shadows of your discontented heart
Lead you through valleys to a brighter day

You've been yearning after empty salvation (empty salvation)
see now this freedom that has been declared
don't be afraid to tear that curtain down (tear that curtain down)
so turn around because love is there (turn around)
so turn around because love is there (turn around)
so turn around because love is there
