Brian Hermand - I Was There lyrics

Salt for a stone, skin from the bone A fission, division from merged to alone Composure to dust turns sterling to rust The marriage of fire and frozen combusts I was there when a bomb went off in his heart That sudden release that ripped him apart It scarred and imploded the space in his soul His dreams are craters, his life the (?) Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse Burnt memories and shrapnel diffuse Melting to blood, the blue flames above Paint sulphurous shadow elegies to love Copper from gold, the banding unfolds The halo of hope goes from tender to cold (?) explodes, the pressure grows When pa**ion explodes we burn in the glow Same scars when part of me died But I lived and came out the other side The sorrow is worth the redemption you'll feel Life spins like a wheel when you start to heal I saw the mind of my first love destroyed The detonation pulled him into the void I watched from the side as the madness evolved Like you I'm a witness but can't get involved Tattooed to my mind, frozen in time A bomb in his hand, gla** turning to sand One union dissolves, another is made Powder to spark to brilliance to dark The paper corrupts the pavement erupts Screams from the streets shatter the peace Silence from sound, then confusion to calm A fire dawned and then she was gone Remember the girl I was there (x8)
