Vnv Nation

The paths that I once tread
Have all but gone
Only embers now smoulder
Where bridges once burned
I feel alive and yet I fear
What may happen now
I know I cant return
And I hear me say again Oh let me not return
Damn the illusions of redemption
And the hopes that held me here
I will oppose all that would befall me
With this rage inside of me
Ill defy what I would become
This solitude and anger
That do battle inside of me
Will always guide me to the answers
That I know I may not see
They are the bonds that hold me tighter
They are the chains that weigh on me
One day, I know they will become
Can I start again
And erase this pain
By casting doubts into the waters
Asking judgement of the sea
Though fortune, you guide the fools
I have no wish to be free
Until I am gone
