Savatage - Dead Winter Dead lyrics

[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill] Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head "Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires? Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light As the puppets hang upon their wires [chorus] I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led... dead winter dead Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time To read words from a past you can't remember? Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for If it made sense my friend well then not anymore Every dream I'm told has its December [chorus] I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led... dead winter dead [lead break] [coda] AND WHEN HE CAME UPON THE SCHOOLYARD THERE WERE BODIES ON THE FLOOR EVERY WAR MUST HAVE ITS BODIES BUT THIS MY FRIENDS WAS SO MUCH MORE FOR THE MIND GETS USED TO BODIES WHETHER SINGLY OR IN PILES BUT IT CUTS THE MIND MORE DEEPLY WHEN THE BODY IS A CHILD'S
