Shadows Fall

Fighting to control my mind
But tragedy is all I find!
The panic builds up from deep within the subconscious mind
Always thought that the pain would end with the passage of time
No matter how many layers deep you try to hide yourself
They will all crack and peel away to reveal something else
From the past we must break free
Come to terms with all that tortures me
Tragic memories invade
Let the storm winds wash them all away
I will be the only one who is left to decide
There will be more that is left for compromise
Break away from the curse of man's original sin
Turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin
Tragic memories invade
Let the storm winds wash them all away
Purified I stand before the flames
As the ashes cover yesterday
Imprisoned by actions of the past
No use holding on
