Lyrics Exile - The Crüxshadows

Exile

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…
