From Ashes to Wings
No lyrics have been submitted for this track yet.
Lost in the moments where imagination plays I hear the footsteps echo from across an empty stage The machine that fed my dreams could only break me down The passion, the pride, beaten to the ground But I still hear it, hear it calling, calling out to me I scream to drown it out, but it won’t let me be When the doubt settles in on another endless night The darkness turns away from the firelight Desire burns within and it’s breathing in new life From ashes to wings, forged in firelight When I close my eyes it seems so far away What I left behind all in faded days But you can’t repeat the past, all it leaves are memories That will hold you down and never set you free Can you feel it, all the eyes upon you? Your world is falling and there’s nothing you can do You control your destiny, time for you to decide The world waits for no one when looking in from the outside

Nothing’s the same, the pain is numb but the scars remain All that I had was ripped away from me Behind a shroud of lies you played your games But I would still believe the words you said, empty shells of deceit There you stand and there you fall, far from grace you lost it all You threw it all away, for your own selfish need Feels like I’ve fallen back, back to the end where it all began Feels like I’ve been drowning while you pretend that there’s no one else around Nothing to say, the anger grows but it’s locked in chains And all that you were, now a tainted memory One day you’ll realize all the wicked things that you bestowed on me A lesson learned for the price of self-centered ways I can’t explain, seems so unreal to me I never thought you’d forsake me

Waiting alone, so many words left to say My final hour has begun today Counting the rain drops as they fall outside Each like a memory that fades away in time Reaching for another day Time fails us all, my friend Servitude to fit their mood, obey until the end When you speak of paradise With false sympathy Could you understand what it looks like for me? Can I describe what it means to be alive? You never could believe, you judged condemning me Hearing my cries, were you afraid to look inside? To face this tragedy, this is my destiny Now cast aside, calling out your name Tomorrow waits for someone else to blame Seeking did they reach too far for this new light? This new horizon, dying suns burn twice as bright I was made to believe I believe that I could dream That the truth will set you free, it’s never what it seems Come in closer to the pain A burden of diversity A black mass For broken machinery This is my requiem

Lost within the reflections of my mind Haunted by your memory as the world passes by The names, the faces, I would trade for one more day with you An inner storm is raging behind these ancient eyes A lifetime wasted Chasing time And I would give up forever to feel your touch again Each day brings a new misery Can time erase the pain? Reaching out for your hands Knowing you’re not there On the edge of forever Waiting forever, waiting for you More than obsession, I still feel your final breath And in the darkness I hear whispers of your name Just like a phantom trapped inside an hourglass Now I realize I will never be the same Time drifts away in the blink of an eye Afraid to live, unable to die In my regrets are the words I left unsaid Trying to relive the past to be with you again How much time is enough in this eternal winter? The moments frozen in time, slipping through my fingers

I stand still and listen to the words that my heart speaks My world was misdirected, I am lost in disbelief And my view is changing, nothing left but memories I feel so disconnected from a life that’s behind me In this world I have no sense of direction And I am drifting slowly towards a stormy sea On the shores of sadness memories are left to rust Your words have withered, dissolved to dust Is this where we left off before, The same conversation, same closed doors? The ties unwind and I start to drift away There was a time when I used to care When I thought you would always be there I cannot wait anymore, I decide my own fate And now I understand, I see the truth from the light of a new day Sometimes I think I’m the only one who remembers the fall Should I call your name? It’s better to fail than to never try at all Now the nights grow longer, the darkness colder, my spirit older I’m afraid to close my eyes and let go of all I have Set off in a new direction, in the shadow of blackened skies A cold wind is in the air, a new horizon is in my sights Reaching out as the tide carries me, waiting for winter’s chill to end Raise the sail, take a breath, take the wheel It’s time to claim my life again

My life’s an open book for the world to freely read Full of dreams and sorrows I’ve held my breath, but now it’s time to breathe My life keeps passing by, so much I want to see There’s no time to wait, it won’t wait for you And it’s not going to wait for me There are so many things that I want you to say I can feel it all just slipping away There may not be a tomorrow, all that we have is today We cannot steal, beg, or borrow Got to live in the now, only chance for you and me Tell me once again all the things I want to hear Lie to yourself as well, with only truth to remind you of the fear Sitting in this silence, do you ever hear my words? Head in the same direction Another night of pain and cries that go unheard And you can tell yourself “I would do it all again” And at the end of the day you’re never going to change your ways Memories, how we learn from our mistakes Lie after lie and the promises we break Was it worth it all? One by one the pieces fall And with all of your pain, you’re alone again Lie after lie

Here we are again, beginning of the end I cannot run this maze anymore Tried putting it all behind us, but it’s my pain that binds us I could not see the truth anymore I sacrificed everything I had to give you You simply took it all from me I couldn’t walk away, though I could see all of the signs There’s nothing left for me down this long and broken road You never showed me sorrow you never showed regret How could you be so damn cold? I was a fool to believe you, it’s true that love can deceive you I could not escape the grasp of your hold There was a time when I would blindly follow you And I’m going my own way I couldn’t turn away, though I could see all of the signs The writings were on the wall for me I should have walked away and read between all the lines There’s nothing left for me down this long and broken road I really thought I knew you, I’ve never seen this side of you There’s no where left for me to go They say that time heals all wounds, I have no time left to lose Just want to live a life that’s true

I have seemed to have lost my way again, should I begin? All the things that were once within my reach Fallen through my hands I have buried what I feel inside of me while I pretend Still the sun will rise and a new day will begin Another story with a beginning and an end Life goes on I will search for the meaning of it all Questions linger, but the answers are lost There’s a rage growing deep inside of me I can’t disguise Can’t describe all this pain It has left me paralyzed Don’t want to feel this anymore feel the silence all around you
