All That I Bleed - Promise Of Life lyrics
[I. Asleep] [Instrumental] [II. Rain] Sitting by myself Remembered yesterdays The hours flew by While I watched the rain Innocent child Admiring how water fell From the sky Each drop a reason to grieve My innocence died As leaves in autumn fell Impending coldness With it's messenger the rain The promise of life in time a threat "To live is to fear" the elders said Forgetting my days, my only escape Falling eternally A victim of memories Once it all seemed clear No room for sin Only ignorance can justify A perfect dream in a crystal bottle Like a message lost at sea I find strength deep within me Away from the world that I remember Dreams are lost in time Corrupted purity Losing purpose and will Away from the world that I remember It seemed so easy So easy to live When all was a mystery Locked in the unknown These feelings I can't explain Love and hate feel the same Answers I seek are astray What may come? When colors get so pale Is there no soothing this pain? When will it rain? [III. Soliloquy] A time for change A time to rearrange Priorities to find Lies that bind Regretting the past A gateway to go mad Enslaved by regression To old aggressions Loneliness hides Your thoughts in your eyes How can I foresee? When my present burdens me So I am alone, I wonder where I stand In this master plan [IV. Listen?] [Instrumental] [V. Deaf Ears That Turn Away] Rain pours down on me Washing away my sadness Inside I'm lost Lost in thoughts A prison for myself I cry To deaf ears that turn away I cry At skies that can't answer my prayers I remember all his words "Don't loose your faith, don't loose your faith..." Pale colors fade The sent of the rain Still alive in my head My shallow heart wounded The past a tray of memories Hoping this storm Will change my fate A raging storm is all I see Not at all what I thought it would be Still I wonder what's expected from me Life is a unique kind of feeling Traveled through an unstable road In time we are worn from all this Faith alone can save us from the fall
