shadows so pale

in the heat of the night

fading to grey

cause they're scared by the light



shootin their arrows

with the wings of pain

restless unkind

but they keep on fightin in vain



tryin to be who you are

the harder you try the closer you'll get

when you fight with a heart of steel



bloodstains in red

that cover your clothes

telling the truth

'bout the souls that have passed



the things that you see

as you read between the lines

won't let you be

'cause they're just partners in crime



tryin to be who you are

the harder you try the closer you'll get

when you fight with a heart of steel

fightin a war you can't win

the only things that stay are you're sins

but you fight with a heart of steel
