lead the way

legs of lead
lead the way
across the borderline
to a place with an open sky
you´ve wandered here before
but you can´t remember
with whom and when
you wish that the world
would fall silent and then
you ´d have some time to sort
through the library of things unspoken
legs of lead
lead the way
into a heart that´s grown sour
but you go on and ask yourself
will you recognize the moment
and will you be able to prevent
the big muscle and all inside
from turning bitter in the end
darkness prevails for eternity
it gives the only true embrace
that you can count on any time
you brought it here
from a place with an open sky
you ask yourself but why?
and you know the answer, son
you know it to be exact
so don´t complain
and toughen yourself
don´t you dare live in regret
live in vain, in misery or pain
but you know the answer
get cold and don´t complain
don´t think of things unsaid
because you speak no tongue
for all the foolish games
and if you did
it would all come tumbling down
so don´t start giving it names
