From Yesterday To Ashes

We walked throughstony paths to avoid this crystal drought of doom

But without taking one single look around we crashed right back in

An episode of life can be recounted in a few trite words

But the reverberations that remain will last from days to years

Daring not to chase all these hours of unique ecstasy

'Cause elapsed moments can't be repeated, once gone they're lost

I sing the word hope in inscrutable notes

The same with certainty, I write it in illegible letters

We were the young furious, restless and uncompromising

These songs of love and tragedy carried us thorugh sleepless nights

This is the time when all I was convinced of gains a new meaning

An unknown awareness, a secret life of words

You may say my eyes are empty and my skin is so withered

But unlike a candle my life burns from both ends!

This is my answer to a question that was never set

This is my anthem, this is my ode to youth

This is my answer to a question that was never set

This is my confession, this is my ode to youth
