Embers Burn

As sorrow drifts among my dreams
And night fades in to gray
I see the passion in the eyes
Of love that went away
Into the mist of broken hearts
Are souls left in decay
Along the edge of sanity
True heartache seems to play

All embers burn against the mind
As beats in hearts are lost
A second timed inside the soul
Thoughts in the wind are tossed
Now hope has found no refuge here
And pain has caused a frost
So deep the cold within ourselves
A trust is what it cost

A flicker of a firelight
That burnt so long ago
Now holds the arms of emptiness
Inside its wanton glow
How true the heart has failed this time
And crumbles deep the soul
As embers die inside the mind
There's answers left to know

Burn love of life within the heart
As steady sees the night
The fire faint, the embers burnt
Then dashed the faded light
And though you try to gain again
You try with all your might
Without the faith of constant time
There dies the will to fight

So thus in tears, you shroud yourself
As truth hides in disgrace
No time to hold on to the thoughts
For lies are what you face
Your will is bent beyond repair
Now heartache's found its place
Among the embers of the burn
Within true pain's embrace
