lyrics

At the end of a crumbling road
Battered feet are running home
Tasting blood and taking sides
Letting go to see the light
Locked in false reality
Addicted to the spiraling
Warmed by the familiar daze
Ignited blaze, burning embrace

Break free
From the need
Coming back to life
Turn the key
Awakening
What's on the other side
A shattered core
A timeless war
Sins all laid bare
Praying for
An unfound door
To open somewhere

The illusions start to fall away
Images we can't explain
We know the truth, it's deep inside
Corrupted by a broken mind
Remembering the promises
The jagged shards no longer fit
The stand will come before the wind
The wheel spins around again

Break free
From the need
Coming back to life
Turn the key
Awakening
What's on the other side
A shattered core
A timeless war
Sins all laid bare
Praying for
An unfound door
To open somewhere

[My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.

What else should he be set for, with his staff?
What, save to waylay with his lies, ensnare
All travellers who might find him posted there,
And ask the road? I guessed what skull-like laugh
Would break, what crutch 'gin write my epitaph
For pastime in the dusty thoroughfare]

Beyond the path, I can see the end
But will never know what it meant
One moment knelled the woe of years
I have come, I am here

Break free
From the need
Coming back to life
Turn the key
Awakening
What's on the other side
A shattered core
A timeless war
Sins all laid bare
Praying for
An unfound door
To open somewhere
