Gathering Field - Proving Ground lyrics
Here I stand On the proving ground Mortal man Hiding my failures And I can Leave here without a sound But then where would I be? Broken again, lonely and free Without a friend I know I have demons to battle So I pray for the strength that I haven't yet found I'll go where the Diamondbacks rattle And wait for the day On the hot proving ground Lately my faith Dwindles like kindling in fire Shimmers and shakes like a ghost in the wind Glimmers and waits for the change to begin Lately my faith I knowâ¦. If I hold on 'till the new sun arrives If some small part of my true self survives Then I might run like a child on the sand Never to carry this burden again And oh here it comes, the one thing I forgot The secret I found is the secret I lost But can I believe in the truth I betrayed Can I make peace with the choices I made Help me hold on I knowâ¦
