Forward

(album: Flight Of The Aeronaut - 2021)

Oh sour, so it goes
Broken pieces of the whole
And my heart came down like hammer sounds
And fought through the night
As my shadows came to life
So blinded by my goals
Ten feet out of twelve foot holes
My life was found on shameful ground
Not filled with love
Now the pieces fall to dust
Carry me forward
I'm lost when I'm down here
Carry me forward
I'm cold and full of fear
There was a fire in my heart
But the waters of this world
Washed it down to a dwindling spark
There was a fire in my soul
Now the ashes are all cold
And I'm calling into the dark
To carry me forward
To carry me forward

Now my body feels so old
Fall into the underworld
And this wound has wound my heart
Into a fierce and lonesome beast
Will his terror ever cease?
Carry me forward
I'm lost when I'm down here
Carry me forward
I'm cold and full of fear
There was a fire in my heart
But the waters of this world
Washed it down to a dwindling spark
There was a fire in my soul
Now the ashes are all cold
And I'm calling into the dark
To carry me forward
To carry me forward
How can we live with ourselves?
We chose to be right instead of to love
Out of this cold little hell
We chose our own pride instead of the cross
How can we live with ourselves?
We chose to be right instead of to love
Out of this cold little hell
We chose our own pride instead of the cross
How can we live with ourselves?
We chose to be right instead of to love
Out of this cold little hell
We chose our own pride instead of the cross

How can we live with ourselves?
We chose to be right instead of to love
Out of this cold little hell
We chose our own pride instead of the cross

There was a fire in our hearts
But the waters of this world
Washed it down to a dwindling spark
There was a fire in our souls
Now the ashes are all cold
And I'm calling into the dark
