Exile Songtext

What have I done?
Have I made you proud
Or have I driven you away?

Her eyes are complicated
Silently she slips away
And in her wake I find
A cascade of regret
All that I believe in
The anchors in my heart
Cannot be for nothing
But we still stand apart...
In silence

It seems I break
All my fragile dreams
When I call
The angels back to me
So what have I done?
What have I done? When time has claimed my fire
And left me in exile?

Shadows cross in essence
As part of what I am
When you try to see the angel
Standing like a man
Paper hearts and faded pictures
That we cherish all the while
And guard with eyes of distance forests
Raining tears placed in exile

What have I done?
Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive
Poets and prophets die

God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you watching me tonight
Finding tears to mark the time?
God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you crying for my life?
Falling angels in exile

God are you sleeping?
Never give up
God are you dreaming?
Never give in
There is fight within
Do you hear me in the dark?

God are you sleeping?
Never give up
God are you dreaming?
Never give in
There is fight within
And I long to see your smile

What have I done?
Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive
Poets and prophets... die
