Oh, the rain defies the amber sunshine
And the bitter wind returns
Before time stood a chance
Frozen in the grain
Those embers finally died
Leaving me alone again

Those I have left behind me
Shall haunt my memories
But I shall walk alone
On this downward spiral
The leaves that wilt around me
Shalt mock my futility
As hopeless as I was
To stand, at the end

And I will walk, alone
Holding onto this burden
Waiting for nothing to change
Except the same again
And to and fro
We take our chances
At life, but never know
The misery that awaits us once again
That we know all too well

Again, the tide begins to turn
And the waves are far between
The sea breeze turns to frost
Frozen in the grain
The sands beneath have shifted
Unveiling hell below
That frost that fell, and froze my heart
Has turned to wintery snow

And I will walk, alone
Holding onto this burden
Waiting for nothing to change
Except the same again
And to and fro
We take our chances
At life, but never know
The misery that awaits us once again
That we know all too well

And once
The sun has set the final time
The footsteps in the sand shall wash away
And everything that's happened in the past
Will drift away
Leaving nothing but pure unchanged grains

But I remember
