Altayon - So I Stand Lyrics

So I stand at the ready and watch my life go by
Gazing off into dreams of memories and lost lies
Hope, a mystery for the lost and a grief to guide

Those strangled truths of here and now will bide
As I awoke this morning I knew it would be my last
Opening the door to the world I so longed for alas
Dead or alive it can't be any worse than this mess

But in darkness or lost in the light
I'll always have my dreams tonight
Living stuck inside this pain

But a heart once filled my day has dried to dust
Making my tears wanting more than vacant lust
An apathetic hand not much farther than mine

Or furthermore, a thought pushing my will across time
I wanted nothing more than a chance at peace
Standing calmly, passively in coherent release
Living stuck inside this mortal temple of waste

But in darkness or lost in the light
I'll always have my dreams tonight
But in darkness or lost in the light
I'll always have my dreams tonight
But in darkness or lost in the light
I'll always have my dreams tonight
Living stuck inside this pain
