Becoming the Past Lyrics


Don't say time heals

I saw its true face

Rusted angels

They never come here anymore

They lose their shine

Consumed by time

All the battles

They were forgotten

Weathered smiles and

Cold handshakes burnt away

Too late we learn

There's no return

Return

So I stand before the gate

Where hope lingers near

Ghosts in flight, strangers passing by

Cause you'll soon disappear

And so will I

Some memory remains

Don't let me go with them today

This is me, never see

Their faces clouded by time

Their names all were lost to the years

But I'm standing right here, right here

Only I still record the story

Stay behind and bury the dead

Just a little bit more time would save us all

Just a little bit more time before the curtain falls

One by one the spirits washed away

Leaving nothing but the task that must be done

Still can't explain

Only the stories remain

Spread under dying sun

Ages past, another day

Clockhand sweep this dust away
