lyrics
Land of The Damned
(Mercier/Mercier)
Some pilgrims have never been to New Jerusalem
A birthmark on my skin says that I'm one of them
Oh lord, if I'm suppose to see that all of this is a gift
If all of this is really for me
I sure can't say what I'll miss
I would have swear you knew
That faith imposes itself
One day it fell on you
But you prayed to your god instead
If it's so easy to start
It must be easy to stop
If it's so easy to climb
I know, it must be easy to drop
So destiny took me by the hand
To show me where my life would end
To her, I've been told
To give up my soul
At this point I'd do anything to change her mind
Please, I don't want to go
This must be the land
Land of the damned
Imagine my deception
When I've reached my destination
A man was waiting there for me
He said he was waiting just like me
He said, if people say you're the devil's friend
It's just the way to show they don't understand
But he was lying all along, the man was lying all along
He said, you could loose or you could win
You tried to choose and I told you that was a sin
I've waited much to long
You must go back where you belong
Eternity got rid of me now
Heaven knows what's left of me
I'm a lost soul
Just an empty hole
But you can wait for me my friend
I guess it mean that I am coming home
Home, home.
