Lyrics
Codex Regius
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They once believed there was a time for change
It came around when open minds were closed
Now as this chaos holds my feet to the ground
I can't see beyond these walls that we're tearing down
And I can deny you forever
But I won't find solace in never
Fly on
Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost
In my mind
There's no reason to be holding out forever
If this is what it's cost
They've written stories of the games of life
They sanctify forgetting all that's past
These pages written upon flesh with blood
Is this the glory that we're singing of?
We keep our faith in a tarnished reflection
Blindly guided by our misdirection
A need for purpose has lead us to wander
But will the dark pull us under?
And though lights are fading behind you
Your shadow is all that I cling to
Fly on
Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost
In my mind
There's no reason to be holding out forever
If this is what it's cost
We are not a mirror of our past
We can find light even whilst living in somebody else's shadow
We write our fate
We must forget our past to build our future
Do we believe now in the game of life?
Can we find a way to break the mould?
Tear out these pages and we'll write our own
Then we can leave the past alone
Fly on
Take with you my thoughts and the memories of all that I've lost
In my mind
There's no reason to be holding out forever
If this is what it's cost
