IQ - Closer Lyrics

What began as hope
Became the fate of many nations
Founded on a lie believed by everyone
Slandered and betrayed
A character assassination
Watch the guilty fade
Now the work is done

Ghosts of early days
Gather round the later rivals
All parade upon the earth to which they're bound
Silent in their course
They steal across the icy stations
Words are useless now
They fall upon the ground

One and the same, parallels remain
In air as in the flame
I can see everything get closer everyday

Hold on, when I'm dead and gone from you
Remember me as light breaking through
Stay strong, any time you feel you're lost
I will carry you back across

Call out, send the word from there to here
Promise you I'm always near
Know now, nothing anyone can say
Will keep me from you anyway

And in the end
When other days have passed you by
If beauty has a name
Waiting beneath the ruby sky
One and the same
Wanting to keep the pain away
In errors made again
I can see everything get closer every day
