Pure
Lost Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On virgin soil serpents are born
Blind are their eyes, blinding's their bane
Feigned happiness real is as death
Hypocrites' plague infects the mind of man

There is that fear like a curse extending in veins
There is that torment that impairs thee
Roving in shadows
Yet with flame that glows in my heart
There on my way all alone, so alone, not alone

Only with eyes of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can see me
Faith be your guide when the sorrow encircles your self
Walking the path of a pure heart
Maybe someday you can meet me
Faith be your shine if the anguish eclipses your sight

Under the skin innocence breathes
Inherent grace, free from this waste
Insight and pain sacred romance
Freedom not greed a doubtless choice for me to make

There is a pureness that so real reveals in my dreams
There is a beauty that I long for
Covered by shadows, yet it's there so close in my sight

Waiting till shades are gone
Waiting till shades are gone.

Hailed shall be the ones who see what others can not
For no assumption I will waste my reason
The promised lands of sand are raised and troth's build on tales
From heights I now behold the circus' credo

Hailed shall be the ones who see what others can not
For no assumption I will waste my reason
The promised lands of sand are raised and troth's build on tales
From heights I now behold the circus' credo

Only with eyes of a pure heart
Maybe some day you can see me
Faith be your guide when the sorrow encircles your self
Walking the path of a pure heart




Maybe someday you can meet me
Faith be your shine if the anguish eclipses your sight

@stevengibb482

The "not alone" part at 1:03 is the best piece of metal magic that there has been in the last 20 years lol. Can't believe this band finished after 2 perfect albums.

@laretrospectivadedoomguy2931

This band split up and made only 2 albums because if they were keeping doing this it would be unfair to the other bands out there
