[Verse I]
I thought I saw the whole world
Smoldering in your eyes
But from this love came a curse
That befell and left me blind
Oh, it stole my fire
[Verse II]
So now it has come to this
My hopes are turning to ash
Destroying all I held dear
Forever holding me back
Taking all I had
[Chorus]
I hoped my gentle heart would save me
From this ever-winding road
But now I'm a ghost in the woods
Lost in a [...] - which way to turn?
I stand and scan the skies
Hoping for an answer in the stars
Where has my freedom gone?
Where have all the birds flown?
[Verse III]
I wanna hate you away
To get you out of my mind
But I see you everywhere
Your face carved from the moonlight
Never left behind
[Bridge]
Your voice whispers in the wind
A festering memory, long dead
Like a foul [mist ranger?]
Cursed with forbidden knowledge
Born from the snow and starlight
Now cast to dust and decay
Your greatest weapon is truth
You wield it with bitterness
[Verse IV]
You stand in front of me now
Your face a desolate grey
I pray that I'll have the strength
To turn my face away
[Coda]
These empty words from your lips
Like smoke that stifles my breath
The very strands of my life
Entwined in your fingertips
I see the spark of our past
But I lament what you've become
