Monument - Lyrics - Carina Round

Round was born in 1979 in the Low Hill area of Wolverhampton, of Italian stock, and grew up listening to the turntable given to her for her fifth birthday. She attended Saint Mary's Catholic Primary and Junior Schools and Heath Park Senior School.

Windowsill, Paris, France Cast a shadow of this chance Hanging over Gare du Nord like I never asked for more Statues on the building tops Stooping for the fire we got Heart's new incantation Your face bared to the sheer moonlight Time flies and I'm here to ride Red lights, cars zoom past, New York had a heart attack Screaming into a new world Sunrise at Sacre Coeur, I turn to move into the church Silence wraps around my head like everything I've never said My heart is reeling, opening to let me in New day's illumination Will it rain then and drown this out? I could die here and never be found out Sweat freezes on my face Moving forward from this place Screaming into a new world I'm not looking for answers at a time like this I can feel this moment For once let it come Let it, oh God, let it come Well, it's protect or sacrifice Waste my time thinking twice Redirect back to earth I never knew less than a heartbreaker Torn down monument Never be the same again My new destination Struck down silhouette Conscience fade to black Burn out your blood so blessed in your military dress Heaven's incandescent glow, honourable way to go Screaming I go screaming into a new world
