Destiny's a road we ride. Sight unseen--our thoughts untried. Through the years--a million miles. A trial of errors--a life of trials. There's a sign along the highway. There's a candle by my bed. There's a face in the doorway. There's a price on my head. . Sweet release...come in peace. Sweet release...won't you carry me on. Sweet release...my falls increase. Sweet release...I'm not that strong. . Sex machine will break you down. Strip you clean and take your crown. Wasted nights--rise and fall. One-way lights--they hide it all. Now I stand before the mirror. Hold the candle to my face. I can feel the scars burnin'. But they don't leave a trace. . Sweet release...rest in peace. Sweet release...I toss and turn. Sweet release...come and teach me. Sweet release...we never learn. . Black and white is black and red. None are right--but some are dead. Through every life the war drags on. Our hopes and dreams lie ripped and torn. . Sweet release...give us peace. Sweet release...won't you carry me on. Sweet release...will it never cease. Sweet release...can't you see I'm not that strong.
