One Step Closer
Arise From The Fallen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sever the ties
Take a look back in your blue bright eyes
I won't forget you -
No single day

One step closer
(One step closer)
I can't escape
(I can not escape)

The fog is rising
Inside my head
The memories of you are fading away
So far away from home
I feel separated - alone

One step closer
(One step closer)
I can't escape
(I can not escape)

The clouds begin to swallow
The skies above
The fire is burning
Within my heart
Now there is nothing left to pray for
The abyss is coming closer to me

One step closer
(One step closer)
I can't escape

One step closer
(One step closer)
I can't escape
(I can not escape)

Sever the ties
Take a look in your blue eyes




I won't forget you - No I won't forget you
No single day
