Stonehearted Nation

In nights when the city's calling
And no-one waits for daybreak
He set his sail for stormy tides
For highs and lows in first-take

Forgot his name, sold his home - in times of neglect
Flew in the face of reason
Awakened out on the streets - too late for regret
Submerged in gutter-season

Outliving every night
And drowning every day

Stonehearted nation
Once a fool, searching the way back
Stonehearted nation
Come and take his pain away

One day he recalled his pride
Close to the final curtain
Tried to hook up with the other side
With no point of beginning

Just spite in every site
Cast shards in every way

Stonehearted nation
Once a fool, searching the way back
Stonehearted nation
Come and take his pain away

Stonehearted nation
Caught in one way streets on the way back
Stonehearted nation
Will you ever take his pain away?

Shine on, shine on - step back mid sing his song
Shine on, shine on - and take his pain away, pain away
