Dead To The World Lyrics

All the same take me away, we're dead to the world.

The child gave thought to the poet's words, gave comfort to the fallen. 

(Heartfelt, lovelorn)

Remaining, yet still uninvited. 

Those words scented my soul. 

(lonely soul, Ocean soul) 

It's not the monsters under your bed, it is the Man next door. 

That makes you fear, makes you cry, makes you cry for the child. 

All the wars are fought among those lonely men. 

Unarmed, unscarred.

I don't want to die a scarless man. 

A lonely soul (tell me now what to do). 

I studied silence to learn the music. 

I joined the sinful to regain innocence. 

Heaven queen, cover me. In all that blue. 

Little boy such precious joy, is dead to the world 

Heaven queen, carry me. Away from all pain. 

All the same take me away. We're dead to the world 

Deep, silent and constant, yet always changing

-my favorite view of this world. 

As he died, he will return to die in me again. 

Weaving the cloth, giving birth to Century child

Who gave his life not for the world but for me. 

Innocence reborn once more. 

Heaven queen, carry me. Away from all pain. 

All the same take me away. We're dead to the world 

Heaven queen, cover me. In all that blue. 

Little boy such precious joy, is dead to the world.
