I cast a line when I saw you were drowning Still you turn your back on me Pulled you from the fire when you were burning Still you never could believe
A trail of tears beyond redemption Just a word and nothing more No more I must reveal I am falling To the dark I now am born So if you hear this cry
I have played the part I have all but lost my soul And I have sacrificed For what it's worth, I just don't know In the silence of my heart There is a
A tireless dream of indifference flows Through veins 'till the river runs dry I no longer care, I have all but disposed Of dreams that I once held inside
Hope [echos] The only thing that we have left to hold [echos] In a world gone mad there?s nowhere left to go [echos] Where nothing lasts there?s permanence
When all is lost to you inside When all the darkness takes the light The ritual, it has begun And now you tear away from everyone Disconnected, so alone
The misery I know like a friend that won't let go Is creeping up on me now once again So I sing this song tonight to the ghost that will not die And somehow
Another river runs against the grain A loner is born, he's filled with anguish Deep within he's dying every day just to find his way He is lost, so consumed

When all the lights have faded The encore's come and gone And I can't take this no more Well I can't keep pretending I just can't play the part I need
They say you are right I hope that I'm wrong I know that you tried But still it is gone Just don't you lose hope I swear I never dream that we're alone

And you say this ain't living You say you can't go on You only take as you've given And now your hope is all but gone, yeah Though you lost your way
How many times have you cut, only to feel the pain? How many days have you run, only to crawl? How many nights did you scream, only to scream in vain?
days gone by I remember summer days We were young and unafraid With innocence we'd glide beneath the stars It seems so long ago Beyond the life that I now know Alter Bridge
: When all is lost to you inside When all the darkness takes the light The ritual warning has begun And now you tear away from everyone Disconnected
