Despised Icon - As Bridges Burn lyrics

Looking through a stained window
I wish for better days
Yesterday's promise of brighter
Colors has been
Tarnished by shades of deception
The calendar has been stripped
Of all it's pages
My watch no longer tells time
Its rusted gears silently watched
The months pass by

Happiness is a fallacy
What was taken for granted
Now seems so precious
I look back and remember when a smile
Was as priceless as the sun
On ne récolte pas toujours ce que l'on sème
My path slowly ends as bridges burn burn
Hardship follows my footsteps
I try to walk a straight line
The blood of a martyr runs through my veins


Desperate thoughts cloud my conscience
Hope is a withered flower that never dies
A passage into forlorn
The blood of a martyr runs through my veins

Yesterday's promise of brighter
Colors has been
Tarnished by shades of deception
Struggle to pick up the scattered pieces
Evanescent hands caress my neck to suffocate
The pride that's left inside
Calmness only brings back memories suffocate
