lyrics

The end of the pier

the sunny day made everything clearer
with the clouds took away the tears
loneliness found a friend in fear
but a heartbeating was near

oh my friend oh my dear I never been sincere
in a moment I lost what I built in years
oh my friend oh my dear I never been sincere
how many times I told I’ll reach the end of the pier

the field of flowers sways in the wind
in the air smell of sin
my beaten armor is too thin
it falls apart and let me swim

and then the warriors came to take the cowards away
to the unworthy remains the pillory stage
and with the crowd all around eyes fixed on the ground
even the thunderous shame plays a silent sound
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone

now the words strike deep and scare
but the time is right to dare
I’ll never hide again I swear
to myself I’ll dedicate my prayers

oh my friend oh my dear today I’ve been sincere
now I know I can reach the end of the pier

and then the warriors came to take the cowards away
to the unworthy remains the pillory stage
and with the crowd all around eyes fixed on the ground
even the thunderous shame plays a silent sound
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
and the faces of stone let the hearts all alone
