HYDE

(Music: Hyde)

I'm crossing the borderline
Without a sound
A wilderness
No one could ever know
The sadness
How it brings me down
I know I have no choice

Is it wise? Taking a life?

And I need to know
Tell me how I should I see the light
I draw the gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
I stray

I'm crossing the borderline
God's on my side
The sacrifice
We make in heaven's name
I'm praying
But there's no escape
I fire a ball of lead
It's so cold
This can't be love

And I need to know
Tell me how I should see the light
I draw a gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
I stray

And I need to know
Tell me how I should see the light
I draw the gun
And I take aim
The world stands still
Like a dream
Hear me pray
I stray
