I'm crawling back into the shadow where I've always been My life laid out before me why do I pretend I'm screaming out with All I have and still there's no one Listening, no one hears me struggling In the wind the leaves have fallen But the fire's still ablaze, and there's a Mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game? Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again You talk in whispers but I hear exactly what you say There was a time I'd listen now I'm not afraid Behind these empty accusations there's a life Here for me, someday you'll see it's just a name In the wind the leaves have fallen But the fire's still ablaze and there's a Mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game? Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again Alone I walk alone again I walk alone again Alone again I walk alone After all I still face this judgement But they'll swallow their pride tonight And feast on some other soul, yet I still haven't won the fight This memory that I've been trapped with, I won't let it all define me As the frame starts to break me away, will I pray for judgement day? Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again
