Battlelines Songtext
von Steve Hackett

And now I stand, forsaking pride
The time has come to turn the tide
I′ve drawn the line, I've built my wall
And I won′t let one more dream fall

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where's the wind that takes me higher
The hand that offers peace
The heart that still gives shelter'

I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they′re holding ground
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free
Behind the battle lines


One more mountain I must climb
I′ve scaled so many in my time
And if the sun goes down on me
The light of truth will help me see

All days of innocence, I surrendered long ago

Where's the voice that speaks of mercy
The eyes that are not blind
The love that′s never ending'

I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they′re holding ground
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free

A vision of eternity
Oh, Lord! Never take the dream from me
Here I am, standing at the edge of destiny'


I wanna go back to find
The innocent days that I left behind
I still believe they′re holding ground
Behind the battle lines
If it takes a million miles over land and sea
Gonna swim in the rivers of purity
I know they still run free...
Behind the battle lines
