Distant (Rubicon II)

The paths that I once tread Have all but gone Only embers now smoulder Where bridges once burned I feel alive and yet I fear What may happen now I know I can't return And I hear me say again "Oh, let me not return" Damn the illusions of redemption And the hopes that held me here I will oppose all that would befall me With this rage inside of me I will defy what I would become The solitude and anger That do battle inside me Will always guide me to the answers That I know I may not see They are the bonds that hold me tighter They are the chains that weigh on me One day, I know they will be gone Can I start again and erase this pain? By casting doubts into the waters Asking judgement of the sea? Though fortune may guide the fools I have no wish to be free Until I am gone
