Lyrics
APPLE & THORNS
In a passion hides
A moment in time, a destiny's jaded
One confession finds
In a blink of an eye the past can be faded
A freedom to lose
A will there to choose
A line in the ground
Taste a little fruit
Which seed led to pain
Formed on a crown
Don't want to stay torn
Between the apple & thorns
Both prize and a pawn
To the war going on
In the calm of a storm
What is black or white?
What was wrong is now right
smothered in greyness
What was dark is light
This world is inside out lost insaneness
Many signs many roads
Which direction home
Confusion abounds
Take a little fruit
Which seed led to pain
Formed on a crown
Don't want to stay torn
Between the apple & thorns
Both prize and a pawn
To the war going on
In the calm of a storm
The world is on strings
Led by forces unseen
Two sides to be found
And the master is known
To where the heart lives
One is bound
Don't want to stay torn
Between the apple & thorns
Both prize and a pawn
To the war going on
In the calm of a storm
Both prize and a pawn
To the war going on
In the calm of a storm
Between the apple & thorns
