Redemption - The Origins of Ruin lyrics

Hand on heart, head in hands The light is fading now, It cannot pierce the darkness Nothing left to build upon Except the mounting fear That none of this was worth it Hand on pen, pen to page Focus though I may My words have failed me Emptiness consuming me The shadows of my broken hope Play in the dying night Tears in eyes, eyes wide open Staring at the gla** The face I see knows everything Words I've written, letters never sent Only signposts marking out, the origins of ruin
