Lyrics: Distant (rubicon 2)

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 can't 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 the rage inside of me -
I will defy what I would become.
The 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 be gone. can I start again and erase this pain
by casting doubts into the waters. asking judgement of the sea. though
fortune may guide the fools I have no wish to be free until I am gone
