lyrics

With the princess high and a slippery slide
You know how the battle has gone
With an open sword and a hungry horde
Chasing me far from home

The pressure plays on my desperate days
And my wounded eyes they try
To see a dazzling sky and a sacrifice
You're takin' me
Far from home

Nights so long in this desert dream
There's a strong man crucified
Whether raging seas or the lightning seeds
The squalor is justified

And you lived so long in an ivory tower
With a secret dark and old
The blazing sky and the terrified
Are takin' you
Far from home

With a hellish howl and a devils glare
You always can rest assured
The passageway to his secret lair
Is on the other side of that door

Well a woman prays in a desperate way
And my searching eyes they try
To see a darkened sky and a stolen time
This place for me
Is far from home
