From the ashes of a man I arise
Heart-headed down my own path, never compromise
And I have seen things you wouldn't believe
If I kept them to myself, it wouldn't be me
All the scars and the burns never changed me
I just regenerated, different body, same me
And I have lost things you won't understand
Been to hell, would know my way if I should come again
Everyone I ever loved turned away from me
Despite the pain, I tried to let them go gracefully
They never asked, I still gave like my love was blind
Couldn't play it like the wreck you found wasn't mine
Battered soul, torn heart and a cluttered mind
Lie awake in ruins, fall asleep when done with crying
When I told you I was tired of life, I wasn't lying
If your feet were in my shoes, you wouldn't judge in kind
Picked myself up with noone there to lend a hand
Charged the enemy first when I could barely stand
From the ashes of a man I arise
Heart-headed down my own path, never compromise
And I have seen things you wouldn't believe
If I kept them to myself, it wouldn't be me
All the scars and the burns never changed me
I just regenerated, different body, same me
And I have lost things you won't understand
Been to hell, would know my way if I should come again
Bled for brothers I made, brothers I never had
There never was an escape, so I just went ahead
I asked her who she really was, she got scared
Together we leapt into an abyss, that wasn't there
When mending fences, you would never hear me say a lie
And if I couldn't see your side, you could say that I tried
Could never see why so many still are favoring pride
I leave with love, I never came to see Naples and die
I leave with love, I never came to see Naples and die
I leave with love, I never came to see Naples and die
