THE BELONGING - The Belonging

The Shell Documentary

Inside the childs eyes I see the anguish rising 
The pain that tears through her heart 
Is all that exists in the silence. 
Do it, do it - Doomed to father's kind hands. 
Covered in blood and hurting. 
nowhere to run in blindness. 

Each day keeps on hurting 
The night is so long 
Awake in the morning 
Feeling the deepest scars 
If only there was a way 
To end the pain once and for all... 

As he returns, drunk again, he climbs the stairs 
Making his way to her room, as she sleeps silently 
Creeping through darkness, standing by her side 
Looking down on her body, he reaches out and 
touches her... 

From under the pillow she pulls out a knife 
She stabs him nineteen times 
To the face and deep into the chest 
Feel the pain that I feel 
Screaming in agony 
Helpless to fight back 
Falling to the ground 
(deep) down 

His body at her feet 
Still warm and twitching 
She looks down at what she has done 
And feels no remorse 
He won't return, drunk again 
or climb the stairs and make his way 
to her room 
He'll never touch her again...

In Blooded Sleep

As my eyes clear, I see ghosts from my past. 
They haunt me as the very day they arrived. 
All these things which I try to leave behind, 
They always find me. 

Where can I run to, where can I hide? 
Where can I hide my face so I am not recognised? 

Hope - you torture me 
Despair - you welcome me 
Love - you torment me 
Life - you bury me 

You bury my life in death, 
Everything I touch withers. 
Everything I love for dies. 
And only I remain. 

Nightmare, how can I be rid of thee? 

You bury my body in death, 
Everything I touch withers. 
Everything I love for dies. 
And only I remain. 

Hope - you torture me 
Despair - you welcome me 
Love - you torment me 
Life - you bury me 

"I tell you true, not to condemn yourself, 
But to quietly leave your life. 
All these things that you hope for - hope is gone. 
Come, hold me, do not be afraid, 
I will carry you in my arms..."

The Belonging

What a love, a glorious love, 
but none that I shall see. 
Those lonely hearts, so far apart, 
but none that I shall ever see. 

Oh shadow sky 
why do you frown at me? 
You'll soon see why 
I belong to thee... 

For I, the storm, on the sea, 
would be lost for you. 
For without your wings to fly upon, 
I would not be who I am. 

Oh shadow sky 
Why do you frown at me? 
You'll soon see why 
I belong to thee... 

"Take heed, listen to me, 
Our greatest misery..." 

The skies, watching in calm, 
cannot retain their fear... 

Oh shadows sky, 
Why do you frown at me? 
For you have seen why, 
I belong to thee. 

Mermaids of the sea, 
I long to hear you sing to me. 
But, lo, where are you now? 
Away, away... 
Gone away, far away, 
far, far away...
