Lyrics

The Tinted Glass (I Remember)
I have preached for the Gods in the Parthenon
I have built pagan temples of sand and stone
In the name of the Father I killed and I died
Believing I held the truth

I have burned with the witches and scientists
I have played with the saints and the anarchists
I've been followed and I've been slaved
And never understood
Oh why do I keep coming back

When all that I can see
is the shadow laughing behind the tinted glass
Every time I close my eyes
Oh why do I believe
there's someone dancing in my head
For as long as I can remember

I have died for the gold in the ancient east
I have killed for the gold in the old west So many times I've killed the beast
And I still feel it raging in my head

Like a scar I erase every time I rise
It doesn’t matter the era, the age or time Burning deep inside my captive soul
And I still don’t know
why do I keep coming back

When all that I can see
is the shadow laughing behind the tinted glass
Every time I close my eyes
Oh why do I believe
there's someone dancing in my head
For as long as I can remember

And I remember
The first glance, the first smile
The anguish of wanting you back
The many times I’ve followed you down here Falling, falling in love
