Текст Pain Of Salvation – A Trace Of Blood

Touching ground
Going home to those I miss
Safe and sound
Weeks of exile turn to bliss

Three young souls in misery

Hitting ground
Nausea wakes me up at dawn
Hopes are found
Dissected, turned and then withdrawn
A chair of steel and wire
Her legs are open wide
Helpless in myself I stand there cold beside
The doctors stay away
Leave us with this dismay
To see the colours of a miracle fade and turn to grey

Then a cry and rivers of blood
flow so sadly, bringing you
Our dreams pour into a cold tray
Two young souls in misery
Missing you

I never knew your name, but I will miss you just the same
I was to live for you
I lost the will to live at all the day you came
It’ll never be the same, but I will love you just the same

The irony of seeing me whispering through her skin
so joyfully to our child there deep within
Or of when she called to me to tell me cheerfully
that she had seen your shape on a hospital screen
And of nurses being concerned
that you never moved or turned
Too late we see the warnings
Too late we learn!!

I never saw your face and now you’re gone without a trace
Except the trace of blood
that’s deeply scarred into my eyes to fill your place
It’ll never be the same, but I will love you just the same
I was prepared to be your father
How can I ever prepare for that again?

Still I follow that trace of blood
always leading back to you
Hollow years of damming that flood
Two young souls in misery
Missing you… missing you…
