Waiting in the rain for a sign from above
For a signal to come, for a light that will drive
All my fears away and I hear you say
That you're going away and it's forever
Watching you say goodbye
Left clutching desperation like a hole in the sky
My belief is gone with the coming of dawn
Now I stand here waiting...
Now - bitter and alone
For determination that this transformation
Has given me something of my own
Forced and distorted my imagination
The one-time vision is returned
It's corrupted me and my soul is taken
Resplendent in the glory of God
Well why do I feel like I've been forsaken?
I figured it was tried and true
But now I tried and I'm through
Well that ain't sayin' nuthin' new
It's just another mystery of shame
When you throw it all away
Just to see what remains
No matter how I try, I still wake up me
With the same illusions and the same old dreams
So seal my fate with a wave of your hand
Let the righteous prevail and the rest be...
Just another casualty - just another victim
Just another product - another damaged system
Just another memory - just another cage
Just another wasteland - melt and disengage
Just another profile - just another failure
Just another promise - another ruined saviour
Just another sacrifice - just another day
Just another fantasy - let it slip away
For a signal to come, for a light that will drive
All my fears away and I hear you say
That you're going away and it's forever
Watching you say goodbye
Left clutching desperation like a hole in the sky
My belief is gone with the coming of dawn
Now I stand here waiting...
Now - bitter and alone
For determination that this transformation
Has given me something of my own
Forced and distorted my imagination
The one-time vision is returned
It's corrupted me and my soul is taken
Resplendent in the glory of God
Well why do I feel like I've been forsaken?
I figured it was tried and true
But now I tried and I'm through
Well that ain't sayin' nuthin' new
It's just another mystery of shame

So seal my fate with a wave of your hand
Let the righteous prevail and the rest be...
Just another casualty - just another victim
Just another product - another damaged system
Just another memory - just another cage

Just another profile - just another failure
Just another promise - another ruined saviour
Just another sacrifice - just another day
Just another fantasy - let it slip away
