lyrics

Behind Broken Bars

The smell of the ocean, a breeze from the west
My anguish subsides and my senses rest
For a second I’m free from the scars of war
But my broken mind I can never restore

The sight of pain, death and decay
Haunts me still both night and day
In the sea of thoughts, I’m stuck in the past
Through stormy seas on a drifting mast

So sing with me, behind broken bars
Sing for the sorrows in the days of the past
I no longer see what life could be
Let wind fill my sails and set me free

Imprisoned in my head and captive in thought
In mind and dreams this battle is fought
In a dark cold cell with a cobblestone floor
I’m all broken down, I can’t rise anymore

The harder I try, the harder it gets
The more I think, the more I regret
From this rotten hell I cannot flee
In my mind I’m stuck, yet in life I’m free

So sing with me, behind broken bars
Sing for the sorrows in the days of the past
When life was as good as it ever could be
But now when it’s gone, set me free

There’s nothing that holds me nor prevents me to see
That no bars nor chains are stopping me
Yet I’m stuck and to the past I cling
I surrender my life and embrace it and sing

So come and sing with me
Scream in agony
Please do set me free
Let me join eternity

So sing with me, behind broken bars
Sing for the sorrows in the days of the past
I’m not bound in my bones, I’m trapped in my head
So sing with me and set me free

So sing with me, behind broken bars
Sing for the sorrows in the days of the past
I’m no longer here, shed no tear
Cause inside my grave, I’m finally free
