Purgatory

Assemblage 23

Composed by: Steve Harris/Tom Shear
So here I stand 
Completely alone 
My skin absorbs the rain 

Helpless to control 
Pieces within the whole 
I can feel it starting again 

A sudden descent 
I never meant 
To manifest itself 

Caught unaware 
In frozen air 
By visions sent in stealth 

How far I've fallen 
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 
My time is borrowed 
But still I waste away 

I've seen your eyes 
Search desperate skies 
For meaning they can't find 

Succumbed to fate's 
Unsteady gait 
And found it too unkind 

Plunge through the depths 
Of what you let 
Control you for too long 

Life's fickle hand 
Dealt reprimands 
You prayed for all along 

How far you've fallen 
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 
Your time is borrowed 
But still you waste away 

Watch the world pass 
Through broken glass 
And wonder what went wrong 

Monuments fall 
On shattered walls 
We once thought were so strong 

Our false beliefs 
Are merely thieves 
That steal our precious time 

And off they flee 
In symmetry 
Never punished for their crimes 

How far we've fallen 
Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 
Our time is borrowed 
But still we waste away
