cover《莫问归期&辞九门回忆》DJ版
Thorns I hide beneath my chest
Searched in vain I did my best
Silence falls then breaks at your unrest
Ink runs dry upon my page
Cold nights cage heart with age
Still I dream though storms engage
Don't ask the wind where seasons go
Nor where my weary footsteps flow
No one knows what hearts below
Taste of frost and pain they sow
Don't ask the sky if I'll return
Or what my silent hands still yearn
No one reads what fields have learned at the end
Years repeat in furrowed ground
Dreams grow silent yet profound
Crowds grow gray no laughter sound
Stories lost where roots are bound
No wings remain no wind to blow
Change the play the seeds still grow
Still the entire world won't let us go
Nails and smoke beneath my skin
Seeking worth yet caged within
Silence hums with engines endless din
Ink of oil stains my will
Nights grow loud the hours still
Dreams disappear in gears of steel
Don't ask the dawn what flame will fade
Nor when the debts of time are paid
No one sees the scars I've made
Warm or cold I walk un-afraid
Don't ask the dawn to heal the pain
Or wash the soot from tired veins
No one has ever heard my soul's complaints
Fade in factory's glow
Dreams decay where sparks won't show
Crowds of dust in iron's flow
Stories buried deep below
No bone in play no soul to steer
Another shift another year
Man's brief fire soon dis-appears
Lost in towers of clay
Told to lay our burdens away
Watched the riders fade through day
Love and hunger both decay
Bitterness I learn to hide
God won't grant the tears I cried
Only earth blooms flowers where we died
Don't ask the storm where hearts may flee
Nor when these chains will set us free
No one knows our quiet creed
Cold or warm we live and ever bleed
Don't ask the storm to cleanse the years
To drown our rust our sweat our tears
We live we build we fade—no one hears
