POETS OF THE FALL · Clearview 2016 · Track 08 of 10
Down on your knees to find your way Through this labyrinth of whys Time and again, rig and replay When nothing justifies Or leaves a trace to tell A way out of your shell To sample life
Time is a wraith At the point of no return A memory of the light of day Time is ablaze And so we burn Until the ashes of our lives Are blown away Wish I had the power to make you stay
