Five Graves To Cairo

The rising sun
Holds no peace for me.
I only find I haven't gone insane.
I can't hear you now,
Pain's such a quiet thing.
Now I find I burn myself again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

Swollen hands
Clutch at the burning sand.
I know that this could never be the same.
Thought I was close
Searching for buried things.
I only find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

The moon is cold,
Burning like ice in the sky,
And we forget the things we used to say.
This nightmare drops
Into our open hands
And now I know I've crossed the bridge again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.

Memories
Of graves cloud my mind
And Cairo seems to move so far away.
I follow you,
Though reasons escape me now.
I fall and find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.
