To think that I ever even had a chance
Was to hope and ignore all the evidence
But still I thought I could try
Only seeing what I wanted to
It's always been the same
And it's always been a lie
Feel afraid, feel ashamed it is all we've ever known
Now we see our mistakes, can we learn from this past?
Linked by common threads, shattered dreams reunited
Carry us into, hellish flames, we will follow
Lead us into our end, or our salvation
Feel afraid, feel ashamed
The shackles have been removed
Burn these pages, feel no regret
Purging the cause of this hate
It's who we are, that make you
So who are we to give up now?
As he journeyed into the earth with the minds that he saved
Echoes began his decent into endless nightmare
Now with nobody left to lose, and only one path to choose
He pushed on through to the core, what awaits, unknown
This is all I have to give away.
That is all we have?
Burn, down, it comes,
The Earthkeeper, awaken
No?
The stench of failure, the chill of remorse
Guilt, shame and disgust
Locked in time to atone
To make amends
