lyrics

I RAISE MY HEAD ABOVE THE FIELDS
WEARY CLOUDS DESCEND UPON ME
SO LONG TO ALL I EVER CHERISHED
BROKEN REMNANTS LIE

DUST IS BLACK
SOAKED WITH BLOOD
AND THEIR ACCUSING EYES ARE FIXED ON ME
PILLARS OF THE EARTH SEEM TO CRACK
AND NOW I KNOW THERE'S NO COMING BACK

I'M PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN

ALL THE FACES
ALL THE SMILES
FORGOTTEN TRACES
OF WHAT WAS ONCE SO DEAR
FORGOTTEN TRACES
OF WHAT WAS ONCE MINE

I MOURN FOR ALL MY DEAD AND LAMENT THE UNBORN
THIS BATTLE LEFT THEIR BODIES
SCATTERED, BROKEN, NUMB AND SCORNED
WITH ALL MY BANNERS TORN I WALK AMONG THE RED

I NEVER STAYED
THE SPIRIT OF MY HOMELAND BECKONS ME
I WALKED AWAY
FROM ALL THE THINGS I HELD SO DEAR

FOR ONE BRIEF MOMENT THE WIND WHISPERS OF HOPE
AND PROMISES TO CARRY ME AWAY
AND THEN IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING
I SPIRAL THROUGH THE CLOUDS
DESPERATE TO FLY
SO I ASCEND

THE GROUND FALLS AWAY
THE GROUND FALLS AWAY

UNTIL I START TO FALL
FALL AWAY, FALL AWAY
AGAIN I SEE
THERE'S NO ONE HERE BUT ME

MAN
MARTYR
FOOL
FATHER
SON
SOLDIER
ALONE
I BREAK DOWN AND
SUFFER
FOR ALL MY
BLIND AMBITIONS

WITH ALL MY BANNERS TORN I WALK AMONG THE RED
MY TIME HAS PASSED
AND THOUGH AT LAST I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M DEAD.
I MOURN FOR ALL THE SCORNED AND LAMENT THE UNBORN

I NEVER STAYED
THE SPIRIT OF MY HOMELAND BECKONS ME
I WALKED AWAY
FROM ALL THE THINGS I HELD SO DEAR

ALL THE FACES
ALL THE SMILES
FORGOTTEN TRACES
OF WHAT WAS ONCE MINE

THE SPIRIT OF MY HOMELAND BECKONS ME
