Heal
Path of Desolation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But your kindness has come to take the last pieces of me
I thought I killed you after so many nights
Nights I spent in freezing cold nightmares
I escaped your eyes to bury my pain but you stay in my mind like a scar in my soul
With each word you speak I take a step backward into the darkness I built for too long
Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost?
Don't stay near me, please let me heal...
Once more the sun rises as I roam in new lands
I search in the distance a place to be deaf to your words
But your faintest whispers still resound in my head, an echo that never fades
Like the marching drums of a love to profound to die. It will never die...
Tell me how far should I go to forget your face? To forget your name? Help me forget!
Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost?
Don't stay near me, will you let me heal?
You make me suffer from a pain that won't fade, if you still love me, let me go...
And you shall see me sailing towards lands of light
To the brightest haven and you will know that the peace I'll find there, I'll owe it to you
Please, forgive me if we cannot travel there together
I wish we had not failed this dream... I wish we had not failed...
Tell me how far should I go to forget your face? To forget your name? Help me forget!
Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost?
Don't stay near me, please let me heal...
