"Don't stray from the path my son, just hold on" My mother said "Before it's too late" Take a piece of me and carry it with you always Coz it's never too late to lead your life out of the hell you've resided in So far in the distance, I can finally see the light At the end of this twisting tunnel, burning bright, burning bright Find some comfort, in these words I give to you Your reasons to live are yours to atone The future is yours but the past is set in stone Yeah, the past is set in stone A new lease of life it flows right through my blood Sealing all the fractures that have rendered me, rendered me undone Defiance wields it's weary head in my time of need So I'll take to the high ground and watch the waves wash over everything And cleanse the ashes of an empire built from the bones of you and me The bones of you and me Leave the ghosts behind you and pick up the pieces Coz we've got so far to go So far in the distance, I can finally see the light At the end of this twisting tunnel, burning bright, burning bright Find some comfort, in these words I give to you Your reasons to live are yours to atone The future is yours but the past is set in stone Set in stone And set in stone So I will follow the water down to the ocean shore And send my demons out to sea because they've run their course Now I can say goodbye one final time Time... woh-oh-oh woh-oh-oh So I will follow the water down to the ocean shore And send my demons out to sea because they've run their course Now I can say goodbye one final time One final time Just know I love you, and that things will be ok But that doesn't mean I don't miss you, every single day This journey we've taken to leave your lasting legacy Now I can finally live in this moment 'cause you're with me in my memories With me in my memories
