Bullet

Ashes to ashes,dust to dust
What was and never will be
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
A battle raging where no man can win

To turn and walk away would be a sin
To stay the course my personal hell
One love,one life to give
For the greater cause each and every one of us
His life to freely give

As darkness falls across the land
We strike a nail through loving hands
Hidden in the shadows, something is abrew
A new beginning perhaps for some
A needless end for the rest

We blow a hole through the night
Night becomes day, that is the way
Hell on earth and heaven's beckoning call
Ringing in my ears

In my moment of folly
In my desperate hope for a better world for you and me
I lost everything that I thought was mine to win
A million lives lost on a whim
Twisted steel and broken lives
As the reality of what I had done finally sets in

The battle has been won, but the war has already been lost
The moment I decided to go down this road
As I lay down to rest, a thousand thoughts race through my mind
Never be the way it was, never be the way they said it would be

At what cost this liberty
What gain is there to live at the edge of the sword?
Now I have to go away and never come back this way again
Live in this bed my own hands have made
Turn away from love to hate
All my strength inside me drained
Like a bullet to my brain

Ever

You said things would be the same
That nothing would ever change
That when you went away
You would come back this way again

The look in your eyes,they say so much
Never knew that it would be this hard
We let it slip through our fingers
Though you are gone the memories still linger

We knew it was never easy this road we chose
A thousand miles apart, when you are right in front of me
I want to hold you close to me
But a part of me wants to set you free
True love never made it easy

Standing here at the door, yet worlds apart
Trying to put back the pieces of our broken hearts
In a moment of madness we lost all that we trust
Closed the door, let the moment by us pass

Now that you are free
To be all the things that you said you would someday be
My blind eyes now see the ugly child that was once me
I have to go away and dream another dream
To be the man you said I would someday be
Problem was he is not me
And never will be
