Steve Vai - Still My Bleeding Heart lyrics

A child to a boy, from a boy to a man Pride growing stronger, reaching his victories He speaks no lies, he fights his cause He judges not the scavengers that persecute humanity Fate does call and the sickness falls, lights of life dim down Fear like an alien comes to view, but with words like the mountains I'll die like a soldier in your arms, my will enduring till the pain is gone Then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried Chorus: In the name of love, still my bleeding heart For the love of God, still my bleeding heart His chin he held high, and the courage in his voice Was like the burning of the sun, but like the breath of an angel How could this be, I had to scream Why this innocent young boy, must suffer so helplessly? But who am I to challenge God In the ways of the world, remain divine mystery I crumble down on my hands and knees While his words fill the air, as he looks into his destiny I'll die like a soldier in your arms, and I will be brave so you can be strong And then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried (chorus) (Solo) And he died like a soldier in his lover's arms Brave as a hero in a blood red war And his final words as he reached for the stars In the name of love, still my bleeding heart Be well my love, still my bleeding heart In the name of love, still my bleeding heart For the love of God, still my bleeding heart (repeats out...)
