Iced Earth The Clouding Lyrics

The Clouding Lyrics

As I awake I have no memory of this

Who I am, where I'm from, why do I exist?

This strange beauty surrounds me

But where I am confounds me



I see others who appear the same as me

A look of loss in their eyes, adrift aimlessly

What's the point? What does it all mean?

Who am I? Show me a purpose, please



Take this sense of wonder

Make it go away

Please, tell me I am not alone and lost here

That there is something that's made me feel this way



Take this sense of sadness

Make it go away

Please, give me something that's familiar

A friendly touch, a memorable embrace



I try to speak but empty eyes stare back at me

Twisted tongues segregate, factions are forming

I'll stay with those that resemble me

To survive this harsh reality



As the days pass most have gone their own way

Nomadic tribes discover life

On a world that feels so strange but still I want answers

What's the point? What does all this mean?



Take this sense of wonder

Make it go away

Please, tell me I am not alone and lost here

That there is something that's made me feel this way



Take this sense of sadness

Make it go away

Please, give me something that's familiar

A friendly touch, a memorable embrace



Lies, the human core is lies

We wiped their minds, cleaned the slate

The clouding did divide



Fate, we sealed human fate

Now they're ours throughout all time

To manipulate



Never trust in the motives of man

They failed to evolve in mother nature's plan

And though they seem safe in this early clouded state

The nature of their heresy has proven quite innate



Pain, mankind will know pain

For their crimes on our kind

They'll never be the same



Death, they will know death

Suffering for centuries

At war with every breath



Never trust in the motives of man

They failed to evolve in mother nature's plan

And though they seem safe in this early clouded state

The nature of their heresy has proven quite innate
