Fragments

scary
looking 'round the room to see who is dead
lovely
tool of the giver's hand to see who is dead

give a medal to the one who lives without pain
give a soul to the one who lives without fame
we cry when the time comes, tear to shining tear
we lie when the fire comes, fear to tortured fear

a lake of sorrow, enter and drown
a globe of horror that somebody found
build a wall from the bones, tear to shining tear
build a world from the wall, fear to tortured fear

(Chorus)
the pain; the horror
He's coming back
the wish; the wanting
He's what we lack
the death; the mourning
He's coming back

make a wish (make a wish)
say a prayer (say a prayer)
make a wish (make a wish)
life's unfair (life's unfair)
