Glass Hammer - Fade Away lyrics

Left here all alone
Farewell to all I've known
Nothing left but memories of me
Draw my final breath close my eyes in death
Hold my hand, help me say goodbye

Goodbye to you my friend
I'll stay here till the end
No regrets, all is well fade away
Was it ever real i don't know
Life keeps speeding on it won't slow
Where I'm going now you cannot go

Just keep rewinding nothing ever changes
You can't fast forward
That's not how we arranged it

Why not hit 'play' now
Then wait and see what happens
There's someone ahead who's waited forever

Were you just a dream so very real it seemed
All I am, I have given you fade away

Shadows of the past are lurking
I try to fight them but, it's not working
Rest a while and then just fade away

You dreamed of splendors left behind
Those memories exist but to remind
Elusive glimpses of the past
Slip through your fingers, they never last

It's a cheat to lift them high
They will betray you by and by
If you could truly travel back
You'd still not find the things you lack

The glories that you seem to recall
Were not glory after all
Only the things through which it shone
The true desire you've not yet known
Let the blinding light of
Truth point you home

I'll rip out the secret
Hidden deep within you
The one that hurts so much
To name it would kill you

The secret which pierces
Sweet and with sorrow must be an echo
A dream of tomorrow the scent of flowers
That we've never found
Echoes of songs though we heard not a sound

Memories of lovers that we never knew
It wasn't the past it wasn't the past
That's been calling to you

I will speak truth to the heart of man
The songs of his youth he can understand and
I will speak truth to the heart of man
It has echoed through time
Since time began and
I will speak truth to the heart of man

From age to age only truth still stands and
I will speak truth to the heart of man
The gulf between future and past it spans and
I will speak truth to the heart of man
