Bodies lie around me
Only shells left from the fight
Victims of the ones that turn
The day into the night
Survivors stumble through the field
They're calling for the priest
Branded with a sign
The number of the beast, it's hell
I can't escape the nightmare
That's here before my eyes
A prisoner of destiny
A victim of the night
My thoughts, they move in circles
I'm heading for the fall
They tell me hope dies last
But I got no hope at all
So talk to me, the world I see
Has reached the point of no return
The tons of grief killed my belief
My heaven's on fire, it burns, yes
When the world's on my shoulders
And the pain comes again
Then I wish I could be there
In my dreamland again
There I'm free from the madness
Without chains and no wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all
Is someone there to save us
From the voices in the dark?
The words fly out like bullets
They leave a deadly mark
The mindless kill their agony
With prices from the show
They're heading for tomorrow
But they don't know where to go
So talk to me, the world I see
Has reached the point of no return
The tons of grief killed my belief
My heaven's on fire, it burns, it burns
When the world's on my shoulders
And the pain comes again
Then I wish I could be there
In my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
And I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all
So if you talk to me now
About our belief
And all the meaning somehow
Is to make people free
All our lives we fear
To be what we hate
Breaking this curse with a fire
That burns all darkness away
Save me, hold me, help me
Free me, love me, heal me
When the world's on my shoulders
And the pain comes again
Then I wish I could be there
In my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
And I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all
