Achilles Heel

(album: Final Advent - 2022)

Once I felt so strong
I could walk through hell and back
Now I've suffered defeat
And it seems my strength is gone

The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel tore down my defense
Took precedence and bred malevolence
The spoke in my wheel, my destined achilles heel

Lies, it's rusty knife twisted through my heart
Pain the like of which I've never felt before
I fell down now I must rise
To recall my strength once more

The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel tore down my defense
Took precedence and bred malevolence
The spoke in my wheel, my destined achilles heel

What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see
Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is how
We choose to define the journey within our mind
Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is how
We choose to define the journey within our mind
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see

The fire is dying
I'm stripped to reveal
The fall of a lion
My achilles heel
All that I've seen
Ever was and all I should've been
Fading like a dream, my destined achilles heel

(Fading like a dream
My achilles heel)

Where we go, what we find, what we will leave behind is how
We choose to define the journey within our mind
What we are, what we've been
What we will ever be is what we feel
What we do and how we will choose to see

One often meets his destiny in the road he takes to avoid it
