fates warning
still remains
I had so much to say But no words to speak The feelings were strong But I was only weak  So there we were again Tragic and absurd Choking on every line And every final word  A few pages from an old diary A dusty shelf, an unread history All these words and memories Are all of you that's really left for me  And a fading memory Can't cloud the pain When the voice is gone The words still remains  And the years that fall away Can't stop the rains When illusion's gone The truth still remains  A few lines from life's long soliloquy A dying voice in one part harmony All these words and memories Are all of you that's really left for me  And a fading memory Can't cloud the pain When the voice is gone The words still remains  And the years that fall away Can't stop the rains When illusion's gone The truth still remains  A final moment of clarity A touch, a look, a last apology All these words and memories Are all of you that's left for me  And a fading memory Can't cloud the pain When the voice is gone The words still remains  And the years that fall away Can't stop the rains When illusion's gone The truth still remains  Where is the way where is direction the ever open arms of over protection Where is the hope where is laughter the wild winter dreams of happy ever after  Deep in the night Underneath the darkest skies Searching for some sign or some distant light Searching yet unheard Repeating every line And every final word  They remain, they remain You still remain All these words and memories And everything you were to me They remain, they remain You still remain  And here I am again Tragic and absurd Repeating every line And every final word
