"Take Me from This Place"
Words & music by Hair Knight.
Appears on Pied Piper
I have met a woman who was joyful at the new love she had
found (I held my ground)
When the love was lost, she felt abandoned as she listened to the sound (of her
heart pound)
So, I tried to love her and I found that she considered her love dead (so she
said)
And thus the death came unto me and days were spent when all I saw was red (oh,
to be dead!)
Take me from this place.
Save the human race.
Basking in disgrace.
Take me from this place.
I've been down a river where the only thing I saw was death
and pain (and coldest rain)
The anguish on the faces of the people whose families had been slain
("Never again")
I have felt the darkness close around me in the longest night (I've had to
fight)
I have heard the cries of the children who were shivering with fright (Is that
right?)
Take me from this place.
Save the human race.
Basking in disgrace.
Take me from this place.
I have been uplifted, seen the light, found the key to the
door. (my sights have soared)
Only to be beaten down and brutally kicked to the floor. (but no more)
I have felt the fire burning in my body right down to my soul (no control)
I have paid the pipe, seen the sorrow, fell from glory, paid the toll (I played
that role)
Take me from this place.
Save the human race.
Basking in disgrace.
Take me from this place.
