The Path

There is no turning back from this unending path of mine
Serpentine and black it stands before my eyes
To hell and back it will lead me once more
It's all I have as I stumble in and out of grace


I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time would've passed us by


With every step I take the less I know myself
And every vow I break on my way towards your heart
Countless times I've prayed for forgiveness
But God's just laughed in my face
And this path remains leading me into solitude's arms


I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless but I'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn


Mmmmmm-oh
Mmmmmm-oh
Mmmmmm-oh
Mmmmmm-oh


Amidst all the tears there's a smile
That all angels will greet with an envious song
One look into stranger's eyes and I know where I belong


I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time would've passed us by


Oh, I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless but I’ll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn, yeah
The shadows they rise and they fall, yeah
And the night drowns in dawn


(And the path goes on...)
