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
