A song written for Unsought Empire.
Looking back in the past at the man that you were,
I see that some people just never change.
Thought you were God making glass turn to sand,
Now turn and face the strange.
Who are you standing in front of me now?
You’re not the girl that I once knew.
Words of contradiction twisting my heart,
Now turn and face the lust.
I see your eyes staring in mine tonight with vengeance.
Everybody changes, right before your eyes.
Stepping out of the ashes like a phoenix rising to the sky.
When the fuck did arrogance take over your life?
You think that everyone loves you.
I know it‘s lies, you’re deluding yourself,
Now turn and face the truth.
Years ago you would be the man losing the fight,
I seen you demoralised.
Times have changed, the blade has sharpened,
Now turn and face the light.
I see your eyes staring in mine tonight with vengeance.
Everybody changes, right before your eyes.
But as time marches forward we realise it was all a lie.
The path of time is relentless, we must let go of the past,
Stepping out of the ashes like a phoenix rising to the sky.
A glimmer of hope inside,
Flickering out as the days go by.
Am I a man or a coward?
Must let it go without sorrow.
Deepest desires building up in me.
Expectations making me scream.
The world will never change, I see.
It’s pain and torment that’s making me dream.
Thought I had killed the monster inside.
It must have dodged the knife.
Faced with repercussions of fate.
Now turn and face the rage.
I see your eyes staring in mine tonight with vengeance.
Everybody changes, right before your eyes.
But as time marches forward we realise it was a lie.
The path of time is relentless, we must let go of the past.
Stepping out of the ashes like a phoenix rising to the sky.
No one really changes, no one leads a different life.
People just show you the person that you want them to be.
The path of time is relentless, we must let go of the past.
Stepping out of the ashes like a phoenix rising to the sky.
