Lyrics

A flash of comprehension masks my fear and pain, After all it’s just another knife, forced on me again, I’ve overcome this before, I’ve known how, To do deal with your blades, for all my life, I won’t let you take me away from, My purpose against steel, and I won’t, Wield it against you, There is life inside this air, Let it in, let it in, I won’t take your life, Though I’ve mastered you in combat, I don’t consider you my enemy, I’ll set you free, Fate’s not in your hands, Nor those which sent you, The wisest is an imposter, See the truth; your failure’s proof, I took my life in my own hands, Now I know I’m not worthy because, I couldn’t defeat this heathen, Who showed me that I don’t know what I am, Except that I’m damned, I came seeking redemption, by my own hands, He came seeking redemption, ‘Cause he knew he had not the, Worthiness and the strength needed, I am now like him, Take away from me, I’m not what I thought I’d be, I’ve lost worthiness, Now I will have to search for, What this Pharis searches for: The redemption he thinks is out there, I’m like him now, Now truly damned to follow to the ends, of the Earth, to the end, Another bloody star has fallen to the Earth, Another bloody star will find itself in nothingness, Do they only have each other now, Or are there more things at work, Can stars pull together when they have fallen down, Hear me Pharis, I’m alone, I am so cold, Now that I don’t have a steel frame inside, Take me with you, Pharis, I don’t know what it is you’re searching for, But if I can, I’ll find it for you, My friend, I had no purpose ever, Except for just to find ones like you, Who’ve lost their mind because of steel, And I know of more than me and you, I know one is still out there, I sent her away, Because I couldn’t bear the sight of her face, I know I’m selfish, Know, you must know, That if it’s redemption you’re searching for, That’s your quest alone, I’ve lost all hope, But that’s not to say you won’t save us all someday, Don’t let me drag you down, no don’t, Just go, Just go, find your way, And if you find the answer to it all, Just let me know, then go, I hold you in no debt, just go, Just go, The distant plains, they call so plainly in your voice, But how could I leave without you, and your choice, I won’t just let this go, I’ve made a promise just now, I’ll find your reason and I’ll report you, Your redemption as well, I’ll find redemption for us, In the plains that call so plainly through your voice, Know you’re still a person, My heathen maybe not, But still the instrument of my redemption, Pharis, I love you, Thank you, oh thank you, I swear to you, I’ll serve you, Whether you know it or not, I will be searching for you reason, And I will never back down, Go my friend, And may the winds of change be ever at your back, Only take this message with you, That it’s not the end when you, Leave all you have known behind, In search for something new, I’m still alive, And you are too, And she is too, Your claims will always be valid, So long as you don’t use your sword, I’ve already thrown mine away, If we don’t change, how can the rest of us, Ever not be the same, Take control of yourself, take control of yourself, And break the chains over you, They’ll no longer have you, There is no room, For old passions, That we lived by before, When we replace, Them with new ones, I choose love
