(Verse 1) I sit and see the colors in my mind, flickering images of hope gone blind. Flashes of glory crushed by human desire, bogged down by the pain of the mire. Reflections of the past cast a shadow, burnt onto the walls by flames ugly gl0w. Memories lost of better times, lights that still shine, not all things are sublime. (Chorus) Forgetting the shadows could be a blessing, but memories earned are now missing. And if we forget what was, then it will always be, doomed to repeat what we do not see. In this fallen world so many choose to be blind, bound to suffering by a choice of the mind. (Verse 2) I sit and think deep thoughts, lost in contemplation, slowly moving toward damnation. Embers glow in my mind's eye, reminding me that I am saved when I die. Careful must I be, for I cannot see, everything that is to be. (Chorus) Forgetting the shadows could be a blessing, but memories earned are now missing. And if we forget what was, then it will always be, doomed to repeat what we do not see. In this fallen world so many choose to be blind, bound to suffering by a choice of the mind. (Verse 3) I do not know how to reach the world, or even if I should, the revelation has already unfurled. The future is known for those who seek, in the stars it is written for the meek. The fallen who have been given power here, will be judged in a time so near. I have to keep faith resolute, shadows of hope can take root, false images of the tempting fruit. (Chorus) Forgetting the shadows could be a blessing, but memories earned are now missing. And if we forget what was, then it will always be, doomed to repeat what we do not see. In this fallen world so many choose to be blind, bound to suffering by a choice of the mind. (Bridge) Trapped within my thoughts like an iron cage, bound by memories read from a page. Ages past left thoughts engraved upon the stone, lessons from the graves we have been shown. (Outro) If the greed of false gods is what keeps this world bound, then truth must be found. Found and never forgotten…Kept in a sacred place….within my heart is safe. Found and never forgotten…written on my life…no matter the coming strife.
