Becoming the Past Lyrics

Don't say time heals
I saw its true face
Rusted angels
They never come here anymore
They lose their shine
Consumed by time

All the battles
They were forgotten
Weathered smiles and
Cold handshakes burnt away
Too late we learn
There's no return

Return

So I stand before the gate
Where hope lingers near
Ghosts in flight, strangers passing by
Cause you'll soon disappear
And so will I

Some memory remains
Don't let me go with them today
This is me, never see
Their faces clouded by time
Their names all were lost to the years
But I'm standing right here, right here

Only I still record the story
Stay behind and bury the dead
Just a little bit more time would save us all
Just a little bit more time before the curtain falls

One by one the spirits washed away
Leaving nothing but the task that must be done
Still can't explain
Only the stories remain
Spread under dying sun

Ages past, another day
Clockhand sweep this dust away
