Cold Mountain
Love is a forgotten word in desperate times
We cling to nothing and wait for no-one
The best that we can manage is to stay alive
And keep our honor just a little longer
A thousand moments spent with you I made and lost
I barely held you those endless seconds
The road that lies before me does not bear the cost
And cannot measure the steps I've taken
Hope is somewhere out of reach among the dead
We stare beyond them to our reflection
A sudden burst surrounds me in a sea of red
Blood helps the flowers reach toward heaven
A thousands words and images are burned away
I barely saved them amidst the embers
I force myself against the final choice between
My failing duty and lost desire
Time exhales from dusk till dawn, and half of what I feel is gone
My choices haunt me, I just fled, the good I had I killed it dead
Forgiveness is a testament to all that fades
Beyond the borders and generations
If right could ever conquer would it too be saved
We're left to wonder who God's forsaken
A thousands kisses in one breath you give to me
As I have fallen toward endless slumber
With one last deed I've spared you from my fate it seems
To pass through winter and into summer
