The rosary The fire in me will disappear Aimed to keep imprisoned what only lives in freedom Time is always fleeting An illusionary line Crumbling to pieces as empires fall Failing to keep what's the essence of all Bullied and broken, bloody and bruised Hiding in secret, ancient stories Our tales will all fade without light The future will quietly eat them alive I stayed for the stories, the secret stories Where you have been The sights you've seen I'll keep them near Stay to hold them dearer Make the colours clearer The underdog believer Quietly stays right here Picking up pieces as empires fall Aiming to keep what's the essence of all Bullied and broken, bloody and bruised Living in moments, stolen moments The sand becomes gold in the wonder of night The deck has been stacked and the stakes were too high Drunk with the moment, the only moment Decided to give it all back You'll never own what's only borrowed
