Lyrics Surrogate - The Raven Age

Surrogate

I’m crawling back into the shadow where I’ve always been
My life laid out before me why do I pretend
I’m screaming out with all I have and still there’s no one listening
No one hears me struggling
In the wind the leaves have fallen
But the fire’s still ablaze
There’s a mesmerizing picture
But all you see’s the frame
Do we fight for what we stand for
Or is this a losing game?
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again
You talk in whispers but I hear exactly what you say
There was a time I’d listen now I’m not afraid
Behind these empty accusations there’s a life here for me
Some day you’ll see it’s just a name
In the wind the leaves have fallen
But the fire’s still ablaze
There’s a mesmerizing picture
But all you see’s the frame
Do we fight for what we stand for
Or is this a losing game?
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again…
I walk alone again…
I walk alone again…
I walk alone…
After all I still face this judgement, but they’ll swallow their pride tonight
And feast on some other soul, yet I still haven’t won the fight
This memory that I’ve been trapped with, I won’t let it all define me
As the frame starts to break away, will I pray for judgement day
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again
Alone again (And here I stand)
I walk alone again
