Yesterday's dream of eternity

Has slipped through my fingers

Like grasping for water

Now i can't even

Take hold of this dust

As i clench my grip

Tighter and harder

The gate to my life

Is shut fast behind me

A path leading to the unknown

Lies before

To my left, peril

Pitfalls all around me

No voice to lead

What is in store

So where do i go from here

Should i roam the horizon

Throw myself to the sky?

But how can i go from here?

When all i've known

Is locked behind me

The love of my life

Lies shattered at my feet

I don't have the wisdom

To make her whole

My home lies behind

A great door with an angel

And there's nothing

I can control

The voice of my failure

It echos around me

The memory of anything good

Disappears

A constant reminder

From where i have fallen

One question i'm asking

The answer unclear

Where do i go from here

Scale the mountains

Plunge the depths of the seas

But how can i go from here

When all i've loved is lost behind me

Every part of my heart

Bids my will to move on

From this place

Of the shame i abhor

And yet every part

Of my heart bids my gaze to return

To the place my heart yearns for

Yearns to be forgotten

How can i ever leave

Or return to the garden

So where do i go from here?

Storm the rampart

Contend with a cherub

But how can i go from here

When all i've known

All i've lost

All i've loved

Is locked behind me
