Across the Fade

As your drag your fingers down my spine A burn still frozen on my skin The ashen trace you left behind Is taken by the wind By the wind Down, draped in disbelief Weak, shattered by defeat So I knelt, and the sky turned black As I felt the walls inside begin to crack! Lost, to never awaken Distant memory on this road I've taken Unknown dialect, one can't correct Yet no replacement, for what you kept To your dismay, I weathered it all Across the fade, I hear your call You can't disgrace, one stood so tall Across the fade, on knees I crawl Found, the cage that kept me "free" I'll tear it down, I've found my peace Turn from gaze, guilty haze All I pray, end of days When the blade switches, and it's your time When the hate that bleeds you leaves your lungs deprived Life to gain, living sin Anchors, Chains, sink or swim To your dismay, I weathered it all Across the fade, I hear your call You can't disgrace, one stood so tall Across the fade To your dismay, I weathered it all Across the fade, I hear your call You can't disgrace, one stood so tall Across the fade
