1-on the golden road to true devotion
The stream becomes a deep blue ocean
Cast your stones and run away
Slip down the stream to judgement day
A face in the crowd lost in time
Forever planning the perfect crime
Caught between whats yours and mine
Between desire and the grand design
2-severing ties with precision
only time can create division
turning pages constant changes
what life can’t steal fate rearranges
today I’m a beggar tomorrow a king
What you deserve don’t mean a thing
The plans you make won’t take you higher
Fates no slave to mad desire
3-live in my mind like a faded ghost
Haunting the souls that love me most
Abandon dreams bound to go wrong
Blinded by light of each new dawn
I’m a perfect god with feet of clay
Losing new wars every single day
Raised up by the soul divine
Dragged down by the grand design
4-on the golden road to true devotion
My stream becomes a deep dark ocean
I cast my stones then fade away
And live to dream another day
A face in the crowd waiting to shine
Waste my time on reason and rhyme
Torn between what’s yours and mine
Between desire and the grand design
