Dark Run

I hold all that is dear.Waiting while the world sleeps.
  I for one will not take,all I can not give.
 You believe in a dark destiny,waiting for man to become one.
  I for one will not stand here and wait for the end to bleed me.
 Today I found myself,baring a shame.We saw myself laying fallen decayed.
  Fed on fear they blame it on us.I cant take it,while we pay for it.
 You believe that I know that I fall alone.
   Lonely but not alone
    Dying far from our homes.
   Lonely but we're not alone.
    Why are we dying far from our homes.
 I for one will not believe all that I see or am told or written to.
   You believe that man can be kind,that God can be kind,so where are they hiding.
 I believe that if we want to become holy.We must bleed or not to bleed to be 
lonely.
  Lonely but not alone.
   Dying far from our homes.
  You believe that I know that you're cornered into a dark destiny,I awake from me.
    I saw you dancing there a top of our own graves without a care.
  People are just watching while we fade away.Why are we alone and so afraid?
    I fall from you
     Let me feel and hold you.
    I want you to bleed from me.
      I want to feel holy.
  Lonely but not alone
    Dying far from our home
  Lonely but we're not alone 
   Why are we dying far from our homes?
