Exile - The Crüxshadows

Fragments of my life

Are slipping through time

In washed out memories

I just can’t seem to find

It seems I break

All my fragile dreams

When I call

The angel into me

So what have I done?

What have I done?

Have I made you proud

Or have I driven you away?

Her eyes are complicated

Silently she slips away

And in her wake I find

A cascade of regret

All that I believe in

The anchors in my heart

Cannot be for nothing

But we still stand apart

In silence

It seems I break

All my fragile dreams

When I call

The angels back to me

So what have I done?

What have I done?

When time has claimed my fire

And left me in exile

Shadows cross in essence

That’s part of what I am

When you try to see the angel

Standing like a man

Paper hearts and faded pictures

That we cherished all the while

And guard of distant forests

Raining tears placed in exile

What have I done?

Who have I become?

Though these words may come alive

Poets and prophets die

God, are you sleeping?

God, are you dreaming?

Are you watching me tonight

Finding tears to mark the time?

God, are you sleeping?

God, are you dreaming?

Are you crying for my life?

Falling angels in exile

(God, are you sleeping?)

Never give up

(God, are you dreaming?)

Never give in

There is fight within

Do you hear me in the dark?

(God, are you sleeping?)

Never give up

(God, are you dreaming?)

Never give in

There is fight within

And I long to see your smile

What have I done?

Who have I become?

Though these words may come alive

Poets and prophets die…
