Lyrics for Steambreather

Running outside the Nazca lines You know I see you all in white Hoping you grow the fruitful vines And the rain to give us life Violence born within my mind I know it always takes it's time Climbing inside the cosmic eye And forgive the enemy I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself Watching you crumble to the ground Made me want to run away Helping you find the golden crown Made it easier to stay I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself At the bottom of the mountain Unaware of my surroundings Separation from the spirit Let the trees fall where they may I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself
