It's centuries old, always retold
The tale, it is endless, infinite searching
For in this world, for what it is worth,
We all have to find a place to call home
It's centuries old always retold
The tale, it is endless, infinite searching
For in this world, for what it is worth,
We all have to find a place to call home
I'm completing the cycle
Locked up in time
It goes on in circles
An endless crime
I know there is someone to blame
Blood is on my hands
I'm clawing at the grave
In endless rage
Sanity's slipping fast
How long does the snake keep biting its tail?
I am stuck in the nightmare
Still my old dream carries on
One step away from Paradise
If you know how to let go
Hope never dies
One step away to leave the lies
As it all came back to me
I'm my own worst enemy
Telling tales to the water
The best way to tell
Put a letter in glass,
An ear to a shell
Hear as the darkness unfolds
In your heart lies the truth
Drowning in the sea
Lost in the waves
Through the storms washed ashore
Carry me home on the cold wind's melody
I am stuck in the nightmare
Still my old dream carries on
One step away from Paradise
If you know how to let go
Hope never dies
One step away to leave the lies
As it all came back to me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's centuries old, broken and cold
The tomb of our future, lost in time
Glimpses of memories fade in the night
Left below as we hasten our climb
For if you lose it all, you are what you had
Reaching the peak, all paths lead down from the prize
How can we say when it dies?
One step away from Paradise
If you know how to let go
Hope never dies
One step away to leave the lies
They are my specialty
I'm my own worst enemy
I'm one step from Paradise
All it needs is letting go!
