Distant (Rubicon 2) lyrics

Artist  : VNV Nation 
Song : Distant (Rubicon 2)
 


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 illusion 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 to the fools
I have no wish
to be free
until I am gone.
