Endless Sacrifice (Live at Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan, 4/26/2004)

Cold, lying in my bed

Staring into darkness

Lost, I hear footsteps overhead

And my thoughts return again

Like a child who's run away

And won't be coming back

Time keeps passing by

As night turns into day

I'm so far away and so alone

I need to see your face

To keep me sane

To make we whole

Try to stay alive, until I hear your voice

I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why, I chose this life

This superficial lie, constant compromise

Endless sacrifice

Pain, it saddens me to know

The helplessness you feel

Your light shines on my soul

While a thousand candles burn

Outside this barren room

The rain is pouring down

The emptiness inside

Is growing deeper still

You're so far away and so alone

You long for love's embrace

To keep you sane

To make you whole

Try to stay alive until I hear your voice

I'm gonna lose my mind

Someone tell me why I chose this life

This superficial lie, constant compromise

Endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Over the distance, we try to make sense

Of surviving together, while living apart

Striving for balance, we rise to the challenge

Of staying connected in spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken, and all that you've done

So that I could live out this undying dream

Won't be forgotten, or taken for granted

I'll always remember your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice
