Can it be that the pain that you know Comes from a place far below Twisting and turning with fear Trying to surface again Rearing its spawn to what end Where can you hide from this fear Treadmill of despair Time is drawing near To the end? The mortal coil endures the toils of life The endless fight that takes my will away But deep within resides the silent dream To leave the world behind What's a dream when I'm here in my cell You tell me to work in this hell All is confusion and tears Who's to blame for the turmoil in me Can help when I yearn for the steel That quenches the anguish I feel Treadmill of despair Time is drawing near To what end? The mortal coil endures the toils of life The endless fight that takes my will away But deep within resides the silent dream To leave the world behind The mortal coil endures the toils of life The endless fight that takes my will away But deep within resides the silent dream To leave the world behind
