Redemption - The Fullness of Time: Transcedence lyrics

Now The smoke finally cleared And I can see the wreckage of my past that lies about me Now It's all become so clear And I have learned the Truth behind the lies and seen the lies within the truth Everything in context finally makes sense I see the paths I walked Some I paved myself Some where I went gladly Some against my will I Can leave behind the fear and doubt And cast aside the shackles and the chains Of flawed a**umptions I learned as a child I can't let them distract me So I'm Putting aside the memories Of the things I never had but thought I wanted Now My notions of what makes relationships have a new light I have gained an understanding No more false facades Covering my feelings Preventing a connection I've been spending my whole life pursuing those who built this cell Lamenting all the hateful things that happened to me Never thought to look at how I might have played a part in who I am Or what it means to lose the game before it starts Now I know that I cannot turn back and change the past And that the only choice to save myself Is changing what I carry from it Everything I did to myself Everything that's been done to me I'll turn my back on that and walk away And left with only me At last I see the answer and what I need to be Letting go I destroy my shell Embrace my heart And free myself The point of the search, may not be the answer The value of a want, is not always a need Still I stand, I'm not going to crawl Now I know, I've got to believe Once I was a person without malice Once my heart bled red instead of black Openness and introspection now show me the way To reclaim all I've lost and take it back You may have taken everything I ever had But you cannot take my future Just release yourself All I was and All that I'll ever be Finally are integrated And I am whole again Now I know the reason for the suffering I'm a better person for having known the pain A better person having overcome the pain
