Distant Voices

Sometimes when I'm by myself, before I fall asleep 
The darkness becomes liquid and I'm drowning in the deep 

Sinking like a stone, coming through different mental spheres 
I see so many people reaching out when I get near. 
I can see despair in their eyes and I hear them call, 
They want me to rescue them, want me to free them all 

[Chorus:]
Distant voices, I hear them calling me, 
Calling for me 
Distant voices, I hear them calling me, 
Calling for me 

They all lost their time 
Did not see their aim 
Died without a sense 
They're still unredeemed 

[Chorus]

I've seen them everywhere in this world, legions of no hope. 
They always close their eyes and they forget all what they know. 
Perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death, 
But it is too late to turn around... 

If they'd seen it all before they wouldn't suffer this way now 
'Cause it's easy dying after one has lived a fulfilled life 
But perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death 
And then it's too late to change it all... 

[Chorus]
 
Distant voices...
