The Paths That I Once Tread

Have All But Gone.

Only Embers Now Smoulder

Where Bridges Once Burned.

I Feel Alive And Yet I Fear

What May Happen Now.

I Know I Can't Return.



And I Hear Me Say Again

'oh Let Me Not Return'.

Damn The Illusion Of Redemption

And The Hopes That Held Me Here.

I Will Oppose All That Would Befall Me.

With This Rage Inside Of Me

I Will Defy What I Would Become.



The Solitude And Anger

That Do Battle Inside Me

Will Always Guide Me To The Answers

That I Know I May Not See.

They Are The Bonds That Hold Me Tighter.

They Are The Chains That Weigh On Me.

One Day I Know They Will Be Gone.



Can I Start Again And Erase This Pain

By Casting Doubts Into The Waters,

Asking Judgement Of The Sea.

Though Fortune May Guide To The Fools

I Have No Wish To Be Free

Until I Am Gone.
