Somethings gone very badly - a business, a love affair, a battle... and it's all a bit dark and gloomy, but look on the bright side eh...?
Ashes in the Rain
This is where all the rainbows end,
It's the graveyard of our dreams,
Where the watercolours fade
To shades of grey.
Here is the field of all the slain,
Where we watched our future die,
Where it lost its fight for life
And bled away.
I will not forget,
But I will not remain.
Time has closed a door;
I won't open it again.
Beauty doesn't last,
Life is full of pain;
Still I'm looking for a living fire,
Not ashes in the rain.
I will not stay to fall and drown
In the many pools of tears,
Or be swept away by
Streams of bitterness.
Once we were confident and sure
We were going to change the world,
Now there's nothing here for me
But emptiness
I will not forget...
We are the ghosts of things gone by;
We've been trapped in memories,
We've been haunting, and been
Haunted by this place.
I'm here to say one last goodbye,
Then I'm going to walk away
I have nothing left to lose
But these my chains.
I will not forget...
