Songtext Still my bleeding heart Steve Vai

Still my bleeding heart

A child to a boy, from a boy to a man
Pride growing stronger, reaching his victories
He speaks no lies, he fights his cause
He judges not the scavengers that persecute humanity

Fate does call and the sickness falls, lights of life dim down
Fear like an alien comes to view, but with words like the mountains

Ill die like a soldier in your arms, my will enduring till the pain is gone
Then he looked into his lovers eyes and he cried

Chorus:
In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart

His chin he held high, and the courage in his voice
Was like the burning of the sun, but like the breath of an angel
How could this be, I had to scream
Why this innocent young boy, must suffer so helplessly?

But who am I to challenge god
In the ways of the world, remain divine mystery
I crumble down on my hands and knees
While his words fill the air, as he looks into his destiny

Ill die like a soldier in your arms, and I will be brave so you can be strong
And then he looked into his lovers eyes and he cried

(chorus)

(solo)

And he died like a soldier in his lovers arms
Brave as a hero in a blood red war
And his final words as he reached for the stars

In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
Be well my love, still my bleeding heart
In the name of love, still my bleeding heart
For the love of god, still my bleeding heart
(repeats out...)
