lyrics

Six walls enclose you, And the only door left
Blocked
By one you called friend

The knife lies in reach, The moment is yours
Feel the desire
To bring this to an end

With eyes open wide (Wide)
Take this life
To un-clip these wings and undo the tie

It's all that stands between, A sacrifice to set us free
Part the thread
For the needs of the many

With eyes open wide (Wide)
Take this life
To un-clip these wings and undo the tie

Beyond the door lies certain freedom
You've been locked here far too long
Time to soar above the eagles
Leave this carrion, far behind

With eyes open wide (Wide)
Take this life
To un-clip these wings and undo the tie

Well done, The blood is flowing
Step through
And observe your new skies perfect blue
The perfect picture
I should know
I painted it just for you!

This guy... I'd say he's a modern Todd Rundgren, but apparently Todd Rundgren is a modern Todd Rundgren, so let's just call John Bassett a Prog-igy. The CD bundle=absolute value; I enjoy it every day. Thank you, John! A
