Shards of Shattered Dreams Songtext
von Machine Head

Dead of winter, thunder cracks the sky
A deafening roar from the oncoming storm
Lightning rips the heavens open wide
New fates are forged changing forevermore

Black clouds await bleak futures
Scars tearing at their sutures
Windows they start to crack
Spiders along the glass
The sun fading, drown the world in gray

It′s raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I′m ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams

We have nowhere else that we can go
Cast into the gale, shredded by its hail
Her furies power cuts and binds
Winds of a splintered kind
Echoes of pain confined


Skies shine with stars of David
Glass ceilings on the hated
Storms of a different cloud
Lords of a different shroud
Oh, heaven, wash the pain away

It's raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I′m ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams

A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams
Go!

A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken

Dark skies so callous
Glass shards of malice


It′s raining shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I′m ripping at the seams

These shards of shattered dreams
These shards of shattered dreams
