Still Remains - Fates Warning

I had so much to say

But no words to speak

The feelings were strong

But I was only weak

So there we were again

Tragic and absurd

Choking on every line

And every final word

A few pages from an old diary

A dusty shelf, an unread history

All these words and memories

Are all of you that’s really left for me

And a fading memory

Can’t cloud the pain

When the voice is gone

The words still remain

And the years that fall away

Can’t stop the rains

When illusion’s gone

The truth still remains

A few lines from life’s long soliloquy

A dying voice in one part harmony

All these words and memories

Are all of you that’s really left for me

And a fading memory

Can’t cloud the pain

When the voice is gone

The words still remain

And the years that fall away

Can’t stop the rains

When illusion’s gone

The truth still remains

A final moment of clarity

A touch, a look, a last apology

All these words and memories

Are all of you that’s left for me

And a fading memory

Can’t cloud the pain

When the voice is gone

The words still remain

And the years that fall away

Can’t stop the rains

When illusion’s gone

The truth still remains

Where is the way

Where is direction

The ever open arms

Of over protection

Where is the hope

Where is laughter

The wild winter dreams

Of happy ever after

Deep in the night

Underneath the darkest skies

Searching for a sign or some distant light

Screaming yet unheard

Repeating every line

And every final word

They remain, they remain

You still remain

All these words and memories

And everything you were to me

They remain, they remain

You still remain

And here I am again

Tragic and absurd

Repeating every line

And every final word
