Agodea - On a Bed of Leaves Lyrics

I went away to find joy
I became the man who forgot the boy
And though the years I thought 'em slow
Now I fear the truth to know
As I close behind me the door
I grow older just a little more
Cannot deny the beast within
That rules the heart and drives the skin

A wolf inside as it seems to be
I looked at him and he laughed at me
He doesn't howl, he refuses to speak
In his eyes I am all to weak

Though I know, he does not exist
He became the man and I the beast
A being of passion with fiery breath
And affirming steps walks the earth
A primal will calls his name
But he's already lost the game
Born fighting in a strange world
For a purpose now distant and old

All the dreams that now lie dead
He tried to live and lost his head
Thus he shall sleep on a bed of leaves
For life crushes what death forgives
