Taken the Wild

They've taken the shadows
they've taken the floors
they've taken the sun from the door
and they've taken the locks so they can come take some more

They've taken your twilight
They've taken your bed
They've taken the dreams from your head
and they've taken your words before they even get said

They've taken the wild
it's gone from the skies
a forrest of stars that forever will be
nowhere for no one to see

They've taken the memories
They've taken the tears
They've taken the wisdom of years
and they've taken the music straight from your ears

They've taken the faces
They've taken the names
They've taken the heat from the flame
and they've taken the picture and left you the frame

They've taken your silence
They've taken your hurt
They've taken the blood from your shirt
and they've taken your ground and left you the dirt

They've taken the wild
it's gone from the skies
a forrest of stars that forever will be
nowhere for no one to see

They've taken the memories
They've taken the tears
They've taken the wisdom of years
and they've taken the music straight from your ears
