Who was I in my former life
To make you all believe such fantasies
Memories have been escaping me
Was it a dream?
So it seems
You insist on calling me your hero
Waves crashing over me
Revealing who I used to be
Now everything I thought was real is fading
So far away from all that I once called home
A leap of faith takes me into the great unknown
Alone
Guided by your glow
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break
Calling my name as if the world stopped turning
I looked away and now the sky is burning
So follow the ashes and they'll bring you back to me
With hope in our hearts we will roam
Together much farther than we thought we'd ever go
No longer haunted by ties that bind us to the ghosts
Guided by your glow
Born with bleeding hearts
We used the fire to fight through the dark
Torn from all we love
Left to expire like those before us
Sworn to rise above
Let only courage define who we are
Mourn those we have lost
And carry on with the wisdom that made us strong
Made us strong
Float above the earth
Trade your soul for all it's worth
The clouds become your bed
A place to rest your head
Wander beyond the edge
Begin existence once again
With hope in our hearts we live on
The road has been paved all along
Carry on
Face the dark
Guided by your glow
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break
Calling my name as if the world stopped turning
I looked away and now the sky is burning
So follow the ashes
And they'll bring you back to me
