Distant (Rubicon II)

The paths that I once tread
Have all but gone
Only embers now smoulder
Where bridges once burned
I feel alive and yet I fear
What may happen now
I know I can’t return
And I hear me say again 'Oh let me not return'
Damn the illusions of redemption
And the hopes that held me here
I will oppose all that would befall me With this rage inside of me
I’ll defy what I would become
This solitude and anger
That do battle inside of me Will always guide me to the answers
That I know I may not see
They are the bonds that hold me tighter
They are the chains that weigh on me One day, I know they will become
Can I start again
And erase this pain
By casting doubts into the waters
Asking judgement of the sea
Though fortune, you guide the fools
I have no wish to be free
Until I am gone
