All That I Bleed

Promise Of Life

All That I Bleed


[I. Asleep] 

[Instrumental] 

[II. Rain] 

Sitting by myself 
Remembered yesterdays 
The hours flew by 
While I watched the rain 
Innocent child 
Admiring how water fell 
From the sky 
Each drop a reason to grieve 
My innocence died 
As leaves in autumn fell 
Impending coldness 
With it's messenger the rain 
The promise of life in time a threat 
"To live is to fear" the elders said 
Forgetting my days, my only escape 
Falling eternally 
A victim of memories 
Once it all seemed clear 
No room for sin 
Only ignorance can justify 
A perfect dream in a crystal bottle 
Like a message lost at sea 
I find strength deep within me 
Away from the world that I remember 
Dreams are lost in time 
Corrupted purity 
Losing purpose and will 
Away from the world that I remember 
It seemed so easy 
So easy to live 
When all was a mystery 
Locked in the unknown 
These feelings I can't explain 
Love and hate feel the same 
Answers I seek are astray 
What may come? 
When colors get so pale 
Is there no soothing this pain? 
When will it rain? 

[III. Soliloquy] 

A time for change 
A time to rearrange 
Priorities to find 
Lies that bind 
Regretting the past 
A gateway to go mad 
Enslaved by regression 
To old aggressions 
Loneliness hides 
Your thoughts in your eyes 
How can I foresee? 
When my present burdens me 
So I am alone, I wonder where I stand 
In this master plan 

[IV. Listen?] 

[Instrumental] 

[V. Deaf Ears That Turn Away] 

Rain pours down on me 
Washing away my sadness 
Inside I'm lost 
Lost in thoughts 
A prison for myself 
I cry 
To deaf ears that turn away 
I cry 
At skies that can't answer my prayers 
I remember all his words 
"Don't loose your faith, don't loose your faith..." 
Pale colors fade 
The sent of the rain 
Still alive in my head 
My shallow heart wounded 
The past a tray of memories 
Hoping this storm 
Will change my fate 
A raging storm is all I see 
Not at all what I thought it would be 
Still I wonder what's expected from me 
Life is a unique kind of feeling 
Traveled through an unstable road 
In time we are worn from all this 
Faith alone can save us from the fall
