|
For how much longer must I bleed |
|
Into the soil before I see |
|
The one who holds the blade is me? |
|
For how much longer must I stand |
|
On destiny's uncertain sands |
|
Before I find stability? |
|
One spark among the embers |
|
One voice against surrender |
|
One dream that's worth defending |
|
One love that's neverending |
|
Ignore the underlying cause |
|
Among a thousand last hurrahs |
|
Where every promise is a lie |
|
Externalize the blame for now |
|
The voice of reason disavowed |
|
A slave to all that I decried |
|
One spark among the embers |
|
One voice against surrender |
|
One dream that's worth defending |
|
One love that's neverending |
|
I wear a stranger's face |
|
Not so different from my own |
|
All the steps that I retraced |
|
Left me wounded and alone |
|
For how much longer must I burn |
|
Until I'm able to discern |
|
The root of all this suffering? |
|
For how much longer must I flee |
|
These harsh responsibilities |
|
For the sinking rock to which I cling? |
|
One spark among the embers |
|
One voice against surrender |
|
One dream that's worth defending |
|
One love that's neverending |
