ashbreather - discarded lyrics
[intro]
your time will come
they say that death is doubtless
prove him wrong
you’ve seen enough
to know that life is hardship
oh!
your blood will dry
one day you’ll be forgotten
like the rest
you’ve made mistakes
but can you grasp redemption?
oh!
alone, astray
you’ve found yourself deserted
trapped in the wreckage of what you’ve earned
above, ahead
this trodden path you’ve chosen
walk the line
bestow, betray
it’s all the same in the end
nothing spirals out into infinity
behold, become
the bringer of all sorrows
oh!
[verse 1]
there are days
i wonder
what lies beneath
that wrinkled hide so leathered
it’s cracking bones still won’t repent, and
there are nights
i’ve pondered
what lies beyond
that aging face in vain
for we were nothing but your th+rns
tossed aside
did the thought once cross your mind?
if you could take it back
would you let the clock unwind?
in this cage of spite
laid the laws of apathy
spurned away your blood and kin
but there’s no guilt, just fantasy
[chorus]
oh, in that holy place you’d call home, there’s
nothing left but memories
rotting (hearts of all feelings)
careless indifferent frigid
heartless insipid and wretched
oh, in the grace of your final days and
still you claim that you were
discarded (tossed in the fires)
the martyr is righteous and blameless
but look at the life you’ve neglected
[verse 2]
you count the years
elude you on this lonely road you walk
foolish shepherd
scattered to the winds your flock
your solitude won’t end
when you wilt
on that final day
still you count your woes
tell yourself that sins like flesh decay
there must be regrets to grieve
behind that stony wall of pride you’ve laid
what time remains
but soon we’ll gaze upon your grave
we could not forget you
but you won’t find forgiveness in the earth
when it’s too late to spill your tears to those you’ve hurt
[chorus]
oh, in the holy land of your heart, there’s
nothing left but memories
rotting (worlds from the inside)
careless indifferent frigid
heartless insipid and wretched
oh, in the grace of your final days and
still you claim that you were
discarded (into the nothing)
the martyr is bitter and shameless
the warmth of the light is rejected
++++++
[bridge 1]
the bile you spit at angels
your animus is shameful
emotional exemption
conceited from conception
[alternate chorus]
all that you’d abandoned
every pearl still in your grasp
now all life has burned away
only ash and dust remain
you could have shed your burdens
but there’s no going back
when there was time for forgiveness
and you were more than just your pain
[bridge 2]
defiant yet defenseless
this feast of pride so senseless
forsaken and relinquished
the spark of life extinguished
[outro]
i saw you one last time
through that wall of glass
and i realized
how these years have passed
i will not forget
that look in your eyes
what shame, all alone
you meet the end
