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 illusions of redemption And the hopes that held me here I will oppose all that would befall me With this rage inside of me I'll defy what I would become
This solitude and anger That do battle inside of 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 become
Can I start again And erase this pain By casting doubts into the waters Asking judgement of the sea
Though fortune, you guide the fools I have no wish to be free Until I am gone
