Dying days of despair Are the mirrors of pain The glass in which I stare Are slowly building a palace in my mind Where the memories breeds my fear With halls of mourning and with walls of bitter loss The world around me dies As the seasons change The water turns to ice And another year will push the past Further back into forgetfulness Among the moments never to return again Lives are spread by the wind Growing further apart Can't return what has been I will never again touch those winters Or the shadows of the fall Never the innocence, the light of each day Tell me now, where's the end to our strive Shattered life, the point where freedom dies Behold my eyes, can't you see I'm terrified Desperate holding on to a distant time Life Shatters Lives are spread by the wind Growing further apart Can't return what has been I will never again touch those winters Or the shadows of the fall Never the innocence, the light of each day So paint the edge with tears Of a perished emotion A wound so severe And much too deep to be erased By the healing hands of time That life has withered, and is gone forevermore
