Avalanche - The Crüxshadows

The lines are clear with tomorrow standing against me

And I am silent as I face my fears alone

Responsibility weighing down upon my shoulders

When all that I needed in a heartbeat is taken from me

The truth is unclear if you close your eyes too tightly

What dream is life spun like silver to the night

Don’t wake me up and do not let me go

And if the world falls from the sky

Shall we like the atlas rise

If time collapses to this end

Beneath the avalanche

With love like pages stripped away

My heart must find another way

Courage comes from circumstance

Beneath the avalanche

And I fear the sky is falling

It’s the price we pay if we act with our convictions

But the faces I see still believe me too naive

We are not lost or forgotten to our conscience

When all that we need for survival we carry inside

I will not fall before you

I will not grovel at your feet

I will not let you crush me

My will is stronger than you think
