Empires Fade - Reflection lyrics

They say that hindsight is a virtue But it's foresight that could truly save a soul Because if I could have only looked forward and seen Just what - what would become of us And what you were capable of I would've never let myself in for what was to come I would've never been so weak Now I swear, I can't wait for the day When the smoke spells out your name And then it's blown away! Hold on to nothing No chance of resolve As the ice wore far too thin, I saw your reflection for one last time And I knew that I'd never make that mistake again So hollow, a selfish coward Going back on all I tried so hard to redeem Now alone, unforgiven Will I ever learn to trust again? What's left of what was once so perfect? Nothing but an empty shell of a man With no heart, no hope No will, no words No cure, no sense No strength, no life No love But now I know what I must do Believe in this reflection And leave the woes of the past behind Believe... in this reflection And leave the woes of the past behind Believe in this reflection And leave the woes of the past behind
