Alerion - Ruins lyrics

You know the place where eagles soar They feel the distance, love the distance You know the place we used to stand Together hand in hand In all these years I never thought I'd dread the distance, hate the distance You clipped my wings, oh how I long To flee the distance, disrespect Disappointment, disconnect You hold me back! I loved the man I dreamed of when I looked into your eyes But now I know I hate the man you are Dislocated reasons feed our discontented minds This dissonance has long turned into warfare So now I'm Burning Bridges Tearing down your towers now Tearing pages Burning down the ruins of our life I fought for you, I bled for you Rejoiced in all I said to you Believed you, swallowed every little lie You tore my feathers one by one But now you're done, oh now I'm gone This mutilated bird will learn to fly But first I'm Burning Bridges Seething anger is consumed Cleansed within the fire of my Burning bridges Scoured clean and burned to dust Wreathed in shadows I revel in the ashes of my life The bridge is gone, the path is set All letters sent, no words unsaid New chance to soar, new leash on life Come what may, I know I will survive Come what may, I know I will survive When all is done I know I'm still alive
